When Skye Stanhope returns to her grandmother’s childhood home, she’s searching for the roots of her life story. Why her tough-minded granny Maisie ran away to war. And why her brilliant mother Isla died.

  

Behind the two women’s successes—Maisie as an entrepreneur and Isla as a city financier—lies deep trauma. Skye uncovers their inner torments: the forces that bound the women together but also tore them apart. Woven into their lives is Hsiao Ling, a seamstress whose ancestor disappeared in wartime France. 

​

Through each woman’s story, “She, You, I” holds up a mirror to the complexity of family relationships; mothers, daughters, sisters. And what happens to the hurt we can’t forget.
