Synopsis
Lorna Parry lives with her three sons, each one lurching uncomfortably into adulthood. In the claustrophobic loneliness of her home, Lorna orbits around her sons and struggles to talk to them; she’s still angry at her ex-husband, and works quietly as the only employee left in a deserted London archive. Life seems precariously balanced. Then a shocking event occurs at the boys’ school and her world threatens to implode. Praised for her taut and subtle prose, Janet Davey returns with an unsettling novel about family and strangers. Her portrait of lives at crisis point is a masterful study in rendering the everyday beautiful and surprising.

Review
"This quietly menacing novel succeeds in being many things, among them a cautionary tale of parenting in the age of social media." —Hephzibah Anderson, Mail on Sunday
"Ambitious, clever . . . By the end of this book you feel profoundly disturbed and enlightened . . . This is no crowd-pleasing novelist but a brave and perhaps rather brilliant one who is teaching readers to see things differently." —Claire Harman, Evening Standard
"A well-written, very well-observed and quietly effective portrayal of the tribulations of middle age." —Harry Ritchie, Daily Mail
"Funny, shrewd and desolating- a novel that makes you look and think twice." —Kate Hellaway, Observer
