Magda's Daughter (2013)
“‘Helena, I know you feel –’ ‘You can have absolutely no idea how I feel.’ Helena tugged her hairbrush through her hair. It was tangled after the walk but she made no allowances for the knots. The brush dragged painfully against her scalp, and still she kept tugging and tearing.
‘I know you’re angry with Magda –’ ‘How would you feel if your mother suddenly told you that your father wasn’t your father?’ ‘Grateful because we have so little in common,’ Ned shot back without thinking. ‘Sorry, th...at was an appalling thing to say. I have no idea how I’d react. But it’s not as if you knew Adam Janek.’ ‘Of course I knew him! Mama told me all about him. How wonderful he was, how handsome, how strong, how brave, how rich. How he stood up to the Germans when no one else would. How he did everything he could to stop them from taking people from the village, and how he was gunned down in cold blood for trying. But now I know he couldn’t possibly have been my father.MoreLess
