An adult sequel to beloved fan-favourite children’s novel The Illustrated Mum.
‘Sorry to wake you in the middle of the night, but we have a lady here who’s not
very well. She says she’s called Marigold, Queen of the Sky?’
Dolphin Westward spent her childhood as the supporting character in the story
of her beautiful, wild, volatile mother Marigold. Now thirty-three, she’s painfully
aware that not much has changed. She lives in a tiny bedsit, works in a tattoo
shop by day and collects her illustrated mum from police stations by night.
Dol yearns to climb out of the rut she is stuck in, but has no idea where to
begin. Could gardener Lee and his daughter Ava be her chance for a wholesome
family life? Or maybe a steamy romance with roguish actor Joel is just what she
needs. And what about the offer from her sister Star, now a successful doctor,
to move to Scotland and live with her young family?
As the choices threaten to overwhelm her, will Dol fall into the role of extra in
someone else’s story once again – or find the strength to forge a brand new
path of her own?
