It’s been six years since Rosa last saw her brother. Six years since they last spoke. Six years since they last fought. Six years since she gave up on the idea of having a brother. She’s spent that time carefully not thinking about him. Not remembering their childhood. Not mentioning those stories, even to the people she loves. Now the distance she had so carefully put between them has collapsed. Can she find a way to make peace – to forgive, to be forgiven – when the past she’s worked so hard to contain threatens to spill over into the present?

Description

‘Profoundly moving, funny and beautifully written.’ Michael Magee
‘Completely immersive.’ Natasha Brown
‘Exceptional and startling.’ Colin Barrett

It wasn’t just the being hurt, it was the endlessness of it, us misfiring without break without end without rest, unable to peacefully be in the same place.

It’s been six years since Rosa stopped talking to her brother. And now it’s too late: too late to forgive, too late to make amends. But her brother had tried, hadn’t he? With him gone, Rosa must look back at the years of silence, at everything she has long held as true. As she gathers together the pieces her brother left behind, their shared history curves into a question mark. Who was her brother? What was the other side of the story?

‘A one-of-a-kind storyteller.’ Observer

From the acclaimed author of little scratch, this is a moving, powerfully honest novel about how we love, how we grieve and how we forgive.
