Tender and profoundly moving, The Amendments is at once the novel of a nation over four decades, a love story, and an intricate family drama that will break your heart. ‘An extraordinary achievement. The Amendments is about a lot of things - love, family, girlhood, growing up, sex, legacy, compassion - all blended into a moving plot’ - Jessie Burton, author of The MiniaturistNell and her partner Adrienne are about to have a baby.

For Adrienne, parenthood is the start of a new life. For Nell, it’s the reason the two of them are sitting in a therapist’s office. Because she can’t go into this without facing the painful truth: that she has been a mother before.

For Dolores, Nell’s mother, the news also brings a reckoning: with the way her daughter’s life unfolded fifteen years ago, with its inextricable ties to her own past, and with the tragedy that neither of them have spoken about since . . .
