The Illustrated Mum

A powerful novel about two sisters living in a very dysfunctional household with their tattoo-crazy mum, who is struggling to cope.
Dolphin adores her mother, Marigold. She's got wonderful clothes, bright hair and vivid tattoos all over her body -- a colourful lady, to match her colourful life. But Dolphin's older sister, Star, is beginning to wonder if living with Marigold's fiery, unpredictable moods is the best thing for the girls.
