Description
Set in a gritty 1980s Scottish town, this novel tells the story of Lily Goodwillie, a troubled twelve-year-old girl struggling to cope with her mother's emotional neglect and abuse.
Lily's desperate attempts to escape her difficult home life lead her down a dark path, resulting in a horrific act that has long-lasting consequences for herself and those around her. Elizabeth O'Neill's vivid portrayal of the horrors of childhood trauma and mental health issues is both heart-wrenching and thought-provoking.
Written in dialect, this book offers a raw and unflinching look at the effects of emotional abuse on a young girl, set against the backdrop of a tumultuous time in British history.
