Synopsis of The Hand That First Held Mine

La galardonada novela de Maggie O'Farrell, 'La mano que primero sostuvo la mía', es una historia bellamente escrita sobre el amor y la maternidad. Cuando el sofisticado Innes Kent aparece en su puerta, Lexie Sinclair se da cuenta de que no puede esperar más para que comience su vida y se marcha a Londres. Allí, en el corazón de la escena artística del Soho de los años 50, se labra una nueva vida. En la actualidad, Elina y Ted se tambalean por el difícil nacimiento de su primer hijo. Elina lucha por conciliar las exigencias de la maternidad con su sentido de sí misma como artista, y Ted se siente perturbado por recuerdos de su propia infancia que no coinciden con la versión de los hechos de sus padres. A medida que Ted empieza a buscar respuestas, se revela un retrato extraordinario de dos mujeres, separadas por cincuenta años, pero conectadas de una forma que ninguna de las dos podría haber esperado.
