You Know, Yourself

The past is never as far away as we believe.

For most of her life, Marian Rafferty has been running.

From a divided Ireland. From a murdered girl. From the choices she made as a young woman desperate to belong.

In America, she reinvented herself as a wife, mother, and grandmother, convinced that distance and time could bury the past. But when a devastating diagnosis leaves her facing an uncertain future, Marian can no longer outrun the memories that have haunted her for decades.

As her daughter Rosemary searches for answers, two women must confront a family history built on omissions, half-truths, and sacrifice.

Spanning generations and continents, You Know Yourself is an unforgettable story about guilt, identity, and the courage required to tell the truth.

If you enjoyed Louise Kennedy's exploration of the mother-daughter relationship within the shadow of Northern Ireland's Troubles in Trespasses, then You Know, Yourself is the book for you.
