From the Booker Longlisted author of A TOWN CALLED SOLACE

Orphaned young, Kate Morrison was her older brother Matt's protégé, her curious fascination for pond-life fed by his passionate interest in the natural world. Now a zoologist, she can identify organisms under a microscope, but seems blind to the tragedy of her own emotional life. She thinks she's outgrown her family, who were once her entire world - but she can't seem to outgrow her childhood or lighten the weight of their mutual past.

'I've been trying to tell everyone I know about Mary Lawson . . . Each one of her novels is just a marvel' Anne Tyler

'A remarkable novel, utterly gripping...I read it at a single sitting, then I read it again, just for the pleasure of it' Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat

'Full of blossoming insights and emotional acuity...a compelling and serious page-turner' Observer

Critic Reviews

Beautifully written, carefully balanced, Mary Lawson constructs a history of sacrifice, emotional isolation and family love without sounding a false note
Full of blossoming insights and emotional acuity...a compelling and serious page-turner
Lawson's evocative storytelling...knows just how to draw the reader on...this is a novel of disappointed hopes and self-delusion, but it has a feel-good finish. Move over Lake Wobegon
A novel of a darkly unpredictable and compelling kind. It is a wise book
All stars

A very special book! Unforgettable characters! Superb narration! A book that speaks straight to the heart! There's so much I could say about it but I won't keep you away from the book! I know it's going to stay with me. Thanx Mary Lawson and Amelia Sargisson.
