Book description
Alma wakes one ordinary morning to find her world has fallen apart. Her beloved teenage daughter Zoe has run away from home. On the landing is a curt note that explains nothing. What on earth has caused her to leave so suddenly? Where can she have gone? To the sorrow and anger of her husband Paul and student son Adam, Alma responds by completely rejecting them. As she plunges into a very different way of life, setting out on a new career and attracting new men along the way, Alma finds herself continually distracted by an ever deeper need to explore the past. What can she have done to Zoe to make her run away? What about her own childhood – what lies hidden? And, insistent, heart-wrenching, the most pressing question of all: will Zoe ever come home?
