'In a life full of books and not enough time to read them, I never read a novel twice. This one I will' Clo CareyWinner of the Irish Novel Fair 2021
A compelling story of family, secrets, identity, and a reminder that love and life can surprise you… right until the very end.
When Alina’s son, Fin, traces his long-absent birthfather, it’s the catalyst for decades of secrets to implode in Alina’s neatly ordered life.
With the sudden appearance of Rory, and the ever-present pull of a very different life in Bangladesh, she’s left reeling.
Three relationships, all of them built on half-truths. All Alina can truly be sure of, is that you can choose your family, you just can’t choose who they will turn out to be.
