About the book
Remembering Judith tells the harrowing story of a young Jewish girl growing up as the full time carer to a mother ravaged by anorexia. Ruth battles with prejudice and ignorance in 1950’s Cardiff as she struggles to live a normal life outside her own house of horror. A house where food is celebrated and reviled, where it is a weapon and a weakness. Roles are reversed in this unique tale of an obese child trying to tempt her mother to eat while coping with an abusive father. Sadly her battle is lost and her mother dies in her 40’s leaving Ruth to struggle with her own demons. Does the disease also affect her? Can she lead a balanced life and find resolution?
