and engaging books I’ve read in<br />
a long time ... ‘Prendergast writes<br />
Jessie’s tale with a dreamlike, yet very<br />
grounded style.’ Inis magazine<br />

take on family grief and teenage<br />
relationships in contemporary Dublin<br />
tackles these sensitive subjects with<br />
an openness and honesty that should<br />
be applauded’ Bookfest<br />

well as a readable story with a sympathetic<br />
heroine’ <strong>The</strong> Irish Times<br />
