About this title

Synopsis

'A brave and unflinching novel... It ultimately speaks to the power and triumph of the human spirit' Bernardine Evaristo, winner of The Booker Prize
'Defiant... direct... conveyed with skill and emotional force' The Guardian
'Brave, raw and strikingly original' Daily Mail

An astonishing and unique novel inspired by the author's own story.

Vivian is a cosmopolitan Taiwanese-American tourist who often escapes her busy life in London through adventure and travel. Johnny is a 15-year-old Irish teenager, living a neglected life on the margins of society.

On a bright spring afternoon in West Belfast, their paths collide during a horrifying act of violence.

In the aftermath, each is forced to confront the chain of events that led to the attack.

Inspired by true events, this is a story of the dark chapters and chance encounters that can irrevocably determine the shape of our lives.
