Description
A boy's early morning excursion to explore the city's waste ground is a solitary pursuit, one that allows him to escape the confines of his daily routine. As he navigates the urban landscape, he finds solace in the beauty of nature, even amidst the grime and litter. In contrast, Sophia, a woman in her late seventies, looks out at the same city from the comfort of her kitchen window, her eyes drawn to the little park outside her flat. Her weekly letter to her granddaughter offers a glimpse into a world of privilege and difference, yet one that is only a mile apart from the boy's own experiences. This lyrical debut novel explores the delicate balance between innocence and experience, class and consumerism, as two seemingly disparate lives intersect in unexpected ways.
