Description

Neve's life is one of relative peace, but the scars of her past linger. As she reflects on the decisions that led her to her current marriage, memories of other loves and losses surface. Her father's bullying and her mother's self-absorption have left lasting impacts, while a series of lonely flights have been a source of comfort. Gwendoline Riley's nuanced exploration of relationships reveals the complexities of helplessness and hostility, where both partners have contributed to the mistakes and misalliances that have shaped their lives. Yet, amidst this narrative of hurt and regret, a story of love also emerges. This thought-provoking novel is a deeply personal and relatable portrayal of one woman's journey towards self-discovery and understanding.
