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

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

Not my usual choice but the reviews had been so positive I gave it a go. I found it beautifully written and narrated in a way that I could visualise the area and atmosphere of the place. I cared very deeply about the characters, finding them all believable. I smiled and cried and I will never forget this novel.

Wonderful, just lovely

I love this book. The writer takes you right into the character and the emotions of the main protagonist. Each of the characters comes alive, helped by excellent narration. The story moves back and forward in time holding interest to the very end. The setting in northern Canada is described beautifully and adds context and depth to the narrative. I hope there are more to come!

A captivating family story
