'This beautiful, intricately-woven novel of love, loss and redemption will echo in your heart long after you turn the last page. Brava to the new maestro of family fiction.' BESTSELLING AUTHOR CHRISSIE MANBY
Two siblings. One family tragedy. Who will pick up the pieces?
New Year's Eve, 1991: three generations of the Fenton family gather in their grand North Yorkshire home for what they don't yet know will be their last meal together.
Jamie, a talented pianist stuck in a dead-end job, is desperate to escape his father's disapproval and his mother's smothering attention, while his sister Caz, basking in the love of her adoring husband and obsessed with motherhood, assumes their parents will always be there to catch them when they fall..
But when tragedy hits, the two siblings are thrown into a tailspin of grief from which one of them may never recover. As the family crumbles, Jamie and Caz realise that adulthood doesn't come with a manual - and they're far less prepared for life than they thought.
Dark humour meets family dysfunction in this gripping, heartfelt debut novel about what happens when the grown-ups are gone and there's no-one left to take their place.
about what happens when the adults have left
the room and no-one has a clue what to do...
