The Letter in the Bottle: A Mother's Story

The Letter in the Bottle: A Mother's Story

by KarenLiebreich (Author)

Synopsis

To all ships everywhere, to all ports of call, to my family, to all friends and to all strangers...On a winter's day in 2002, a bottle washed up on the shores of Kent. It contained a lock of hair, a letter in French and a mystery. All that could be known for certain were the name of the writer's son and the fact that he was dead. Moved by the unknown woman's grief, acclaimed author Karen Liebreich sets out to find the mother and solve the riddle of her letter in the bottle. Her book is the story of one mother's search for another, and a tender meditation on love, loss and motherhood.
