Sinopsis

There was a time when I loved my mother. ItâÇÖs shocking to imply that I stopped loving my mum because mothers always love their children and always do their best for them. Mothers are supposed to be good. But my mother wasnâÇÖt good.áTen years ago, Helen Naylor discovered her mother, Elinor, had been faking debilitating illnesses for thirty years.áAfter ElinorâÇÖs self-induced death, Helen found her diaries, which Elinor wrote daily for over fifty years. The diaries reveal not only the inner workings of ElinorâÇÖs twisted mind and self-delusion, but also shocking revelations about HelenâÇÖs childhood.áEverything Helen knew about herself and her upbringing was founded on a lie.áThe unexplained accidents and days spent entirely on her own as a little girl, imagining herself climbing into the loft and disappearing into a different world, tell a story of neglect. As a teenager, her motherâÇÖs advice to Helen on her body and mental health speaks of dangerous manipulation.áWith ElinorâÇÖs behaviour becoming increasingly destructive, and Helen now herself a mother, she was left with a stark choice: to collude with ElinorâÇÖs lies or be accused of abandoning her.My Mother, MunchausenâÇÖs and Meáis a heart-breaking, honest and brave account of a daughter unravelling the truth about her mother and herself. ItâÇÖs a story of a stolen childhood, mental illness, and the redemptive power of breaking a complex and toxic bond.
