Publisher's summary

Traversing three generations of women torn apart by family trauma, The Girl in the Maze explores the complex relationship and challenges involved in both mothering and being mothered.

I would caution you against delving into the past. The past is often best left exactly where it is.

Emma Bowen has never had a close relationship with her mother, barely speaking with her in the last years of her life. But after her mother’s death, Emma finds something that might just explain the distance between them.

Discovering letters between her mother and grandmother, it seems to Emma that her mother has always been difficult.

As she searches for answers about her own childhood, Emma is drawn into the mystery of her mother’s enigmatic life. The more she finds, the more lost she feels, but Emma is determined to uncover her mother’s past and the secrets held within it whatever the cost.

An enthralling story of three women, generations apart, linked by one terrible tragedy.

Incredible Read and Listen! 5 Stars

What an amazing book! Emma's story and those of Elizabeth, Betty and Margaret are just so strong, vivid and visceral. Cathy Hayward is a superb writer. The book gripped me immediately. The stories are interwoven with mastery, the historical accuracy is spot on and the dialogue of all protaganists is superb. There are some real shocks and traumatic moments here that leave the listener on the edge of her seat. I really loved the narrator as well. High recommend this novel and especially the audio version! 5 stars
