Description

Shortlisted for the Commonwealth PrizeShortlisted for the Writers' Guild AwardsShortlisted for the Waverton Good Read AwardNominated for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award'He just knocked, that was all, knocked at the front door and waited, like the fourteen years since the night I'd killed my mother hadn't happened at all...'Crushed by an impossible shame, Jinx's life has been little more than a shell.

Now estranged from her husband, she is even relieved when he leaves and takes her young son with him. But a visit from an old friend of her mother's forces Jinx to confront her history.

Looking back plunges her once more into the pain of the past, but it also brings with it the possibility of redemption. And Jinx isn't the only one with secrets. Together, she and Lemon will unravel an unforgettable family drama, stoked with violence and passion. Rich with voices from East London and the West Indies, Edwards's narrative is delivered with a unique and uncompromising bite that announces a new talent in British fiction. 'Deeply moving, wonderfully written... A study of grief and remorse.' The Times
