Summary
‘Profoundly moving, funny and beautifully written.’ Michael Magee
‘Completely immersive.’ Natasha Brown
‘Exceptional and startling.’ Colin Barrett
It wasn’t just the being hurt, it was the endlessness of it, us misfiring without break without end without rest, unable to peacefully be in the same place.
It’s been six years since Rosa stopped talking to her brother. And now it’s too late: too late to forgive, too late to make amends. But her brother had tried, hadn’t he? With him gone, Rosa must look back at the years of silence, at everything she has long held as true. As she gathers together the pieces her brother left behind, their shared history curves into a question mark. Who was her brother? What was the other side of the story?
‘A one-of-a-kind storyteller.’ Observer
