A gentle and tender novel about the power of forgiveness and how humans might thrive when given the space to grow. Richly rewarding fiction. * Kirsty Capes, author of Careless and Girls * This book is extraordinary. Full of love and loss, grief and kindness, exquisitely written, a book filled with literary treasures…this will absolutely tug at your soul. It’s not a long book but it’s a book to revel in and savour, one to re-read and treasure….glorious and heart-breaking and yet, ultimately full of hope. * Liz Hyder, author of The Twelve * An assured, sensitively told tale…The real power of the story, however, is not in the cause, but its effect as, having finally been freed in their various ways from the constraints of traditional family models and expectations, all three women develop the strength and knowledge to shape their own desires and destinies. * Marie Claire *
