The Girl Who Climbed On Rooves – Sue Woolfe

The Girl Who Climbed on Rooves is a powerful, lyrical novel that explores memory, music, trauma, and mother-daughter inheritance. Told in a series of fragmented yet interwoven memories, the novel follows Frances, a composer who revisits her past in an attempt to understand her emotionally volatile mother and the unspoken catastrophe that shaped their lives. As Frances uncovers secrets buried in family silences—ranging from childhood abuse to institutionalisation—she channels grief into artistic joy through music. Structured like a four-movement symphony, the book is both a deeply personal narrative and a broader reflection on intergenerational trauma, creativity, and the resilience of the human spirit.
