Description
Luisa McKenzie's life has taken an unexpected turn. After flunking her exams, she finds herself back at school as a classroom assistant instead of pursuing a new life in London. Her days are spent sitting on the outside of the 'Home Corner' with a group of five-year-olds, far from the ambitions she once had. A chance encounter with Stella, an old schoolfriend who has achieved more than Luisa ever thought possible, shakes her out of her complacency. As a school trip and magic show approach, Luisa's grip on reality begins to slip. As the boundaries between past and present start to blur, Luisa must confront the disappointments that have been holding her back. This poignant novel explores the complexities of growing up and finding one's place in the world.
