FROM THE WINNER OF THE AUTHORS' CLUB BEST FIRST NOVEL AWARD 'This [book] confirms her as one of
the most arresting voices of her generation. Delaney never succumbs to cliche  but creates a

OBSERVER 'Superb' FINANCIAL TIMES 'You'll be moved  you might laugh and there may well be

of working-class family life. Thoroughly absorbing  it didn't let me down' ALEX WHEATLE Perfect
for fans of Meg Mason's SORROW AND BLISS  Claire Fuller's UNSETTLED GROUND and A LITTLE LIFE I
had dreams once  but never for anything as extravagant as happiness. Still  Auntie Bell and me
have fresh cream cakes every Saturday. They're sweet enough to take the edge off. I hope
they're enough to get me through being outed as a fraud. Turns out  I'm more my missing
mother's daughter than anyone first suspected. There was a time when Lindy Morris escaped to
London and walked along the Thames in the moonlight. When life was full and exciting. Decades
later  Lindy lives back with her Auntie Bell on the edge: on the edge of Donegal and on the
edge of Granda Morris's land. Granda Morris is a complicated man  a farmer who wanted sons but
got two daughters: Auntie Bell and Lindy's mother  who disappeared long ago. Now  Lindy and
Bell live the smallest of lives  in a cottage filled with unfulfilled dreams. But when the
secrets they have kept for thirty years emerge  everything is rewritten. Will Lindy grasp who
she is again? Praise for Tish Delaney 'Funny and moving' Roddy Doyle 'I was besotted' Red
'Gorgeous prose . . . My heart broke several times' Good Housekeeping
