About this ebook
A subtle story about ageing, friendship and loss, this is also a nuanced study of the erotic yearnings of an older woman.
"In dreamlike prose, Manyika dips in and out of her present, her past, in a story that argues always for generosity, for connection, for a vigorous and joyful endurance." Karen Joy Fowler, author of The Jane Austen Book Club.
