'A terrific novel' Angela Carter
Koko won't do what is expected of her. Defying her family's wishes, she
has brought up her eleven-year-old daughter alone in her apartment. And
now, after a casual affair, she is unexpectedly pregnant again. What
will this mean for her already troubled relationship with her daughter?
As she faces the future, memories of her own childhood loss flood into
her consciousness, threatening to overwhelm her.
Combining the beauty and unease of a dream, this haunting novel is an
unflinching portrayal of a woman's innermost fears and desires.
