Magnificent and infuriating, loving and stifling, self-sacrificing yet interfering – Michel Bergmann loves his mother Charlotte, and sometimes he can’t stand her. In this unvarnished book, he tells the story of a strong, obstinate woman who was driven out of Germany, lost nearly her entire family, and was ultimately happily reunited with her future husband, yet too often had to face her troubles alone.
