Description

Salley Vickers' new novel is a beautifully written exploration of the love and connection that exists between generations. At its heart are three very different women, each with their own unique story to tell.

There's Nan, a fiercely independent woman with a secret life as a poet, who finds joy in teaching her grandson Billy the art of lying. Then there's Blanche, a glamorous woman who finds solace in drink and shoplifting after being deprived of her beloved granddaughter's company. Lastly, there's Minna, a shy and bookish woman who shares her passion for reading with her surrogate granddaughter Rose in the safety of a shepherd's hut.

As these women come together, they discover that the past is always with us, and that we go on learning and changing until the very end. This moving novel is a celebration of the love and connection that exists between generations, and is a testament to the power of human relationships.
