A small girl is sent to live with foster parents on a farm in rural Ireland, without knowing when she will return home. In the strangers’ house, she finds a warmth and affection she has not known before and slowly begins to blossom in their care. And then a secret is revealed and suddenly, she realizes how fragile her idyll is. ‘No better feeling than reading a book that makes you excited to discover everything its author has ever written…’ – Douglas Stuart (Winner of the Booker Prize 2020)
