Author: Suzanne Chick
Format: Hardback
Number of Pages: 0
In 1991, at the age of 48, Suzanne Chick - artist, teacher, wife and mother - discovered the identity of her mother, the woman who gave her up for adoption. That woman was the then 19-year-old Charmian Clift. Suzanne Chick takes the reader on her quest to know and understand this apparently contradictory woman who was Charmian Clift - a novelist and essayist whose name was known to thousands in Australia in the 1960s through her weekly newspaper column. As Suzanne learns about her mother she can never meet, she finds herself re-examining the course her own life has taken, and gaining insight into the life of the woman who brought her up - her adoptive mother, Marjorie Shaw. More than just a piece of literary history, this is an account of the consequences of adoption and Suzanne's search for identity.
