A haunting, beautifully written novel involving rejection and loss, trust and friendship, the search for identity and meaning. It's a tale weaving stories within stories: an abandoned baby, a child killed in a road accident, the complexity of relationships in which the people involved might want to but do not share the same needs, perceptions and desires. A complex and rewarding read which despite its often harrowing subject matter ends on a note of optimism.
