A family devastated by grief. A father with three teenage daughters to bring up. This sounds as if it might be a cliché, but this slim novel (almost a novella) avoids any such criticism. This is a novel about grief, that instead of talking directly about grief, finds ways of avoiding it. Instead there is the game of squash. While it may not appeal to all this is clever writing, nuanced and subtle and could catch you unawares.
