Toronto: Harper Perennial, August 2005. Trade Paperback. First Paperback Edition / full number line. Fine. Interior pristine. Spine straight, tight and uncreased. Covers clean and bright. Remainder mark. Not from a library. 327 pages.
Victoria, a chef living in North London, can't seem to shake her ghosts. But when her sister dies in Guyana, leaving behind a young son, Victoria's life changes in ways she could never have predicted. Suddenly she is forced to confront both the death of her past and the frightening promise of her future. A tender portrait of two people searching for truth, love and identity, this is an astonishingly wise novel.
