Sinopsis

Two women, bound together by opposite personalities, friendship, love and family-until motherhood rips them apart.From Jenni Ogden, author of best-selling novel A Drop in the Ocean (Gold Nautilus Award for Fiction) comes a powerful novel, set in Australia and spanning the 1960s to the 1990s. Her mother dead from a drug overdose, thirteen-year-old Olivia is rescued by Cathie Tulloch, her motherâÇÖs friend throughout the years they were held captive in Japanese prison camps in Sumatra in WWII. Welcomed into the TullochâÇÖs remote family home in the Australian tropics, introverted Olivia is claimed by dramatic, generous, controlling Cassandra Tulloch as her sister and best friend. Moving to the UK at 18, Olivia finds her independence - and partner Ben. But in 1970, after five years away, she is homesick, and ready to fulfill her long-held dream: to make a family of her own. In Brisbane she and Ben share a hippie lifestyle with Cassandra and husband, Sebastian. But while earth-mother Cassandra effortlessly produces beautiful babies, for Olivia, becoming a mother is hard. Even harder is discovering the truth about her own mother. And when the unimaginable happens, destroying the friendship with Cassandra that has been her bedrock for so long, Olivia tells herself that she doesnâÇÖt deserve a family, nor a place to call home.áPraise from Paula McLain,áNew York Times bestselling author ofáThe Paris Wifeá&áWhen the Stars Go DarkâÇïâÇïâÇïâÇïâÇïâÇïâÇï'Anáemotionally piercingáand absorbing account of turbulent female friendship over time,áCall My Nameáis also a keen meditation on the powerful pull of connection and belonging-the places and people that shape and change us, forever calling us home.'Editorial Reviews'A gripping story thatâÇÖs hard to put down-draws the reader into complex and deeply human questions as her charactersâÇÖ lives intertwine over three decades of joy, loss, grief, and below it all, like a sustaining chord, loyalty and kindness.áLayered, sometimes shocking, yet shining with goodness and hope,áitâÇÖs exactly the kind of story we need right now.'-Barbara Linn Probst,áSarton and Nautilus award-winning author ofáThe Sound Between the Notesá&áThe Color of Ice'Jenni OgdenâÇÖs done it again-given us a beautifully crafted novel filled with theácomplexities, mysteries and joys of human connectionáwithin a family and between sisters, lovers and friends.
