Description
This beautifully written novel tells the story of love and loss through three generations of a family. It's a mesmerising tale that charts the lives of Iris's family, from her decision to leave behind her only child in 1942, to the lives of those who come after her.
The novel spans several decades, following Ruth as she grows up with a mother who has made a choice that will have lasting consequences. We also meet Ruth's own children, trying to make their way in the world despite the shadow of the family that came before them. With its large cast of fascinating characters, this is an outstanding novel about families and their ability to adapt.
