'Insightful and astute writing ... Emily Hourican has a wonderful
understanding of human nature' Louise O'Neill The summer she turned
twenty-five, Anna felt invincible. In love for the first time, in a
strange city far from home, she could be a new person. All that she
had ever wanted was there for the taking. But the glorious
possibility of those long sultry days ended in a reality far
starker than she could have imagined. Now, fifteen years later,
Anna is struggling to get through to her teenage daughter Jessie --
named in memory of Anna's best friend -- who has developed an
eating disorder. Mother and daughter were once close, but now Anna
feels as if Jessie's every word and action is a mystery. Though
sometimes she wonders if Jessie can see right through her. And when
her daughter starts to report dreams about the namesake she never
met, Anna -- increasingly unnerved by just how much her daughter
seems to know -- is forced to face the secrets of that summer when
her life changed in one unravelling moment, and the brutal truth
about the part she had to play.
