Synopsis
Cathy Wren, aged 37, lives alone in a small town, surviving on waitressing and piano teaching. Nursing her quiet, drab life, she keeps memories of her tumultuous past at bay—until one stray remnant of that old life knocks on her front door. Suddenly, Cathy is thrown into a weird and haphazard journey that turns into much more than a search for the little sister she hasn't seen for 10 years. This is a remarkable novel about life and death, fact and fiction, desire, envy, families, and forgiveness.

Review
'Her writing has a direct, uncluttered quality ... The low key marginal kind of life ... has no better chronicler' D.J. TAYLOR, INDEPENDENT 'It is in its delicate exploration of the murky ground between objective assessment for life and irrational affection for a person that the novel compels' TLS 'This remarkable novel begins low-key and builds to a devastating conclusion' JUDY COOKE, MAIL ON SUNDAY
