Description
In this evocative novel, twelve-year-old Justine navigates the complexities of adolescence in 1984 New Zealand, grappling with the recent loss of her mother and her father's struggling antique business. Drawn to the allure of her charismatic new teacher, Justine yearns to be singled out, a desire that takes a dark turn when a thief enters their lives. The narrative masterfully weaves between Justine's formative experiences and her present-day visit to her father in a nursing home, exploring themes of longing, manipulation, and the enduring impact of childhood experiences.
