The Illustrated Mum
(5 reviews with an average rating of 5 out of 5)
Publisher: Doubleday
Marigold, the ‘illustrated mum’ of the title, has elaborate tattoos covering her body from head to toe.
Narrated by Dolphin, the youngest of her two daughters, this is a moving, yet unsentimental account of two children coming to terms with their mother’s depression, mental instability and alcohol problem. Written with warmth, humour and understanding.

The Illustrated Mum is just a sad, but yet amazing book. The mum was an acaholic, a smoker and suffering from depression. I felt sorry for the kids, but all the same, it is a charming book, and the ending is suprising
