'An important, touching novel that stays with you long after you're done reading it' Independent


Noah hasn't been to Nice since he was a young boy. Now, he is only days away from his first trip back when he receives a phone call from a social worker looking for a temporary home for Michael, Noah's eleven-year-old grandson. Though he has never met Michael, he is talked into taking him along to France.


The unlikely pair end up arguing about everything from steak haché to screen time, and the long-awaited trip is quickly becoming a disaster. But as Michael's youthful determination helps Noah unearth troubling details about their shared past, they soon find they are more akin than they knew. A funny, heart-wrenching story about coming home again, how to unpick a painful story and begin to write one anew.


'A delicate and moving reminder of the way in which our human stories are made from practical choices - often in life as well as in literature' Harper's Bazaar

Über den Autor
Born in Dublin in 1969, Emma Donoghue is an Irish emigrant twice over: she spent eight years in Cambridge doing a PhD in eighteenth-century literature before moving to London, Ontario, where she lives with her partner and their two children. She also migrates between genres, writing literary history, biography, stage and radio plays as well as fairy tales and short stories. She is best known for her novels, which range from the historical (Frog Music, Slammerkin, Life Mask, Landing, The Sealed Letter and The Wonder) to the contemporary (Stir-Fry, Hood, Landing). Her international bestseller Room was a New York Times Best Book of 2010 and was a finalist for the Man Booker, Commonwealth, and Orange Prizes.
