Sommario/riassunto

The Deep End is the coming-of-age memoir of Irish author Mary Rose Callaghan. Here Callaghan closely examines her relationship with her mother-which endured through economic hardship, and her mother's descent into mental illness and alcoholism-in addition to Mary Rose's own difficult childhood and later triumphs as a writer.
