Description
The Booker Prize longlist 2023!
A lyrical, emotion-filled novel about family happiness, parent–child love, and overcoming trauma.
The disappearance of a loved one changes not only a person’s present and future, but also their past. Marianne was only eight when her mother vanished, and memories of a sunny garden, walks, and fragrant pies seemed to fade. Was their family life really so carefree if, one day, her mother simply walked out of the house and never returned? This question tortures Marianne; she looks for the answer in the old house and by the river, in her father, her neighbors, and in medieval poetry—searching as a child, a difficult teenager, and then an adult woman, herself already a mother. Is there a miracle that can help her reclaim her happy past and, along with it, change the future?
