About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

From the Booker-longlisted author of A Town Called Solace.

Orphaned young, Kate Morrison was her older brother Matt's protégé, her curious fascination for pond-life fed by his passionate interest in the natural world. Now a zoologist, she can identify organisms under a microscope but seems blind to the tragedy of her own emotional life. She thinks she's outgrown her family, who were once her entire world - but she can't seem to outgrow her childhood or lighten the weight of their mutual past.

Not my usual choice but the reviews had been so positive I gave it a go. I found it beautifully written and narrated in a way that I could visualise the area and atmosphere of the place. I cared very deeply about the characters, finding them all believable. I smiled and cried and I will never forget this novel.
