A beautifully written, thoughtful, almost dreamlike novel about isolation, solitude, disappointment and betrayal. This is full of endings - of friendship, love, life itself - and people who, most of the time, touch life only at the edges, and each other only fleetingly. A gentle acceptance of what is, and must be, but with flashes of joy that illuminate like sunshine between showers. (Kirkus UK)
