Sinéad is a driven, funny young property developer with a terrifying secret. No-one knows it: not her fellow patients in a failing hospital and certainly not her family. But she can't go on like this ... A novel about intimate histories, institutional failures, the kindness of strangers, and the darkly present past of modern Ireland. And about women's stories and women's struggles. An unforgettable, darkly funny debut novel.
