Description
Nora's past is marked by conflict and hurt, but it's one she's learned to live with. Growing up, she clashed with her mother Maisie, who Nora felt had always shown favouritism towards her sister Cathryn.
Years later, in Edinburgh, Nora has built a new life for herself, far from the volatile household of her childhood. She finds solace in a circle of friends at work and, among them, two people who bring her joy: Brendan, with his dry wit and shared love of trivia, and Nathan, with whom she shares a deep and all-consuming passion.
As Nora navigates her relationships and confronts the pain of her past, she must also learn to forgive herself and others. It's only when she allows herself to be vulnerable that she begins to heal and find peace.
