By the author of The Solitude of Thomas Cave
In the 1950s, when a young Polish-born British mother suddenly dies in an automobile accident, her children refuse to accept the simple explanations of the adults in their lives. When Russian spies are uncovered in London, her two children believe she is still alive and living in the Eastern bloc. Her absence and the way her children cope with that loss color their lives and futures.
Georgina Harding’s prose is as elegant as her storytelling, and her understanding of childhood and the terrors it holds prove engrossing.
