This beautifully crafted novel is the story of a family's struggle to heal itself after the violent death of its oldest daughter. But it is also full of humour, mischief and pleasure, rich with themes as diverse as politics, memory, chaos theory, justice and the proper way to cook spaghetti carbonara. "Hellenga has written one of those rare modern novels that's not afraid both to think and feel" - The Times "Like a fine wine, made to be sipped and appreciated" - Maxim "Eccentric, passionate and generous" - TLS
