Description
In a 1990s London housing estate, a community is shattered when a young child goes missing and is later found dead. Suspicion falls on a ten-year-old girl from an Irish immigrant family, the last to be seen with the victim. This novel delves into the aftermath, exploring the complex inner lives and 'ordinary human failings' of those affected, revealing how circumstance forces a fractured community to confront uncomfortable truths about themselves and each other. Megan Nolan masterfully examines themes of intergenerational trauma, societal judgment, and the corrosive nature of tabloid culture, presenting a poignant narrative that transcends a simple thriller.
