Product Information

A very moving, authentic portrait of an Irish family with deep secrets * Claire McGowan * It's been a long time since I found a book so utterly engaging and enveloping. Mental illness and the long-term effects of emotional and sexual abuse are drawn with insight and subtlety. The writing is vivid and raw, the characters real, and the voices of mother and daughter feel pitch-perfect. I raced through it, so immersed that it kept me up half the night. * Charity Norman, bestselling author of AFTER THE FALL *
