Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Myerson's personal account of 2 children: a girl living in Regency England and her own son. While researching a young woman who died aged just 21, Myerson is struck by the parallels with her own family; just days earlier, she had locked her eldest son out of the house, due to his drug habit. Separated by centuries, she tells both their stories and asks the most difficult of questions: what does a mother do when her unconditional love isn't enough to save her child?
