Description
A poignant and powerful novel about the complex relationship between a writer and her mother. Ten months after her mother's death, the narrator embarks on a quiet Sunday walk across London, reflecting on their relationship and the nature of writing. As she navigates the city, she grapples with the legacy of her mother's life, her brilliant wit, generosity, and obstinacy, and wonders how she endured despite physical difficulties. This is a searing examination of grief and renewal, and a deeply felt exploration of the love and tenderness that can be found in the most unexpected places.
