Synopsis
Violet has been at odds with the world from birth - although her father loves her deeply, it is her mother's love she craves. How does she cope with her mother's unexplainable cruelty? Gerald's childhood, too, is harsh - he suffers from the taunts of his adoptive father and is denied his own mother's love. Set in a landscape that is both liberating and oppressive, this is a novel about extreme vulnerability. Like Small Bones explores the frailty of humankind and our (sometimes elusive) saving grace, the capacity for love.
