'I've been telling everyone I know about Mary Lawson . . . Each of her novels is just a marvel' Anne Tyler

Clara's rebellious older sister is missing. Grief-stricken and bewildered, she yearns to uncover the truth about what happened.

Liam, newly divorced and newly unemployed, moves into the house next door and within hours gets a visit from the police.

Elizabeth is thinking about a crime committed thirty years ago, one that had tragic consequences for two families. She desperately wants to make amends before she dies.

'Will break your heart' Graham Norton

'Exquisitely poignant' Liane Moriarty

It's already one of my favourite books of the year
