Sophie and her five children, still raw from tragedy, relocate from Canada to her partner Derek's childhood home in England. There they attempt to forge a new life together - but their new family is shadowed by grief, myth, and a lingering sense of the uncanny. Through shifting perspectives, from Jules, the delicate middle child, to fierce Ema, to volatile Angelo, debut author Juliano Zaffino paints an unforgettable portrait of love, loyalty, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
