Nineteen-year-old Luisa McKenzie has failed her Scottish Highers
and finds herself back at primary school - working as a teaching
assistant, a role she never envisaged or wanted. Her old friends
have all left town and she spends her days perched in the
classroom's Home Corner, answering questions about God and Death
and the colour of the sky. Increasingly disillusioned and
reflecting on paths not taken, Luisa begins to ask her own
questions about life and the so-called adult world. As her
end-of-year review looms, it looks like she may not even be able to
hold down this unsatisfactory job much longer and, with the
discovery of an uncomfortable secret, her take on reality slowly
begins to unravel . . . The Home Corner is a funny, tender novel
about feeling adrift when facing the 'real world' for the first
time. It explores the way we create our own identities in the light
of other people's, and queries the distinctions that are made
between the absent and the present, the real and the imagined.
