Description

Twenty-three-year-old Maddie Wright has spent years caring for her father in their London home while her mother works abroad and her older brother remains largely absent. When circumstances finally give her the chance to live independently, Maddie begins navigating work, friendship, romance, and the unfamiliar freedoms of adulthood. As she searches for her own voice and place in the world, she must confront family expectations, cultural identity, grief, and mental health. Warm, candid, and quietly witty, this coming-of-age novel offers a deeply compassionate portrait of self-discovery and the complicated bonds that shape us.
