Description
Alice Raikes boards a train to Scotland. She witnesses something so shocking, she demands to return to London immediately. Hours later, she lies in a coma. Was it an accident? Or a suicide attempt? Her family convenes at her bedside. They wait. They argue. They remember. Long-buried tensions surface. The more they speak, the more they conceal. Alice drifts between consciousness, reliving her past, a recently ended love affair. This is the debut of a major literary talent, a novel of stunning psychological depth. It skips through time, interweaving points of view. But as the family unravels, so does the truth of what happened to Alice.
