Regarding Agnes - A New Book By Cathy French

1926: a seven-year-old boy is collected from the family home by a stranger and taken to a Doctor Barnardo's home. The boy's father died in World War One. He doesn't know what happened to his mother.

More than seventy years later, aged 82, he leaves his daughter a scrap of paper bearing a single name, his mother's maiden name: Agnes Hughes. So begins an investigation to piece together what really happened to Agnes.

​

It's a true story about family, memory, and how it might be possible to find peace and forgiveness in the present by trying to reignite and understand the past.

​

Paperback and eBook versions are available.

I loved it! It's about a boy, a family, a city, a world at war (two wars). How the story was structured is incredible! Poignant, knowledgeable, informed, historical, heartbreaking and full of longing.
