Publisher's Summary
A collection about mothers and daughters, children lost, unborn, grown up, grown apart and the dissonance between lovers. It exposes the silences in families and the parts of ourselves we rarely reveal. A daughter asks her mother to shut up, only to shut her up for good; an exhausted wife walks away from the husband who doesn't understand her; on holiday, lovers no longer understand each other away from home. The underlying themes of loneliness, secrets, family and displacement and also the desire to belong to someone, to some place, along with a yearning for love intertwine these stories. The collection includes "The Jam Maker", which has just been awarded the Harper's Bazaar Short Story Prize 2020.

My new favourite book
I just adored this book. The stories were so raw and honest and for that, felt very intimate and validating. This is real life. This is the beauty in the mundane, even when it isn’t pretty.
