Mamele | Gemma Reeves

'When my mother washed my hair she crooned, mamele, mamele, into my ear.
Little mother, meaning little daughter, meaning you're a good girl, Edie.'Edie lives with her partner Joanna in a crumbling country house in Broadstairs.
They have spent over a decade together since the death of Harry, the third member of their polyamorous relationship.
It's a quiet, comfortable existence - but conversations about the mother who abandoned her have recently awoken in Edie feelings she long thought buried.Mamele is a stylish, searing drama about the complicated love between mothers and daughters, the indelible impact of estrangement and one woman fiercely coming into her own.
