'Miraculous, mischievous and quietly devastating' Rachel Joyce 'A tender, delicately devastating novel' Sarah Waters ' An engulfing, deeply humane novel about the triumphs and failures of human connection' Marina Kemp A journey. A reunion. A longing for a place called home... From the Canadian prairies to the streets of 1950s Liverpool - a searing portrayal of escape and entrapment and a powerful exploration of what home and family can truly be. When Harry Cane, a veteran Canadian wheat farmer, is forced to sell up and sail back to an England transformed by two world wars, his arrival triggers unwelcome examination both for himself, and those in his family he has left behind or never even met. His daughter feels duty bound to take him in, but is riven with doubt and ambushed by a long buried anger with her father. There are others, though, who are helped by his presence: a granddaughter who is able to deal with an unspoken trauma at last, and her husband, who finally feels seen for who he really is. Will Harry stay and make a new life before it's too late, or will he be cast out once more, for understanding and witnessing too much? ' There is no judgement here, only humanity. A joy and a lesson for our time' Ann Cleeves 'An involving story of reconciliation, secrets and compromises, rich in emotional truth and evocative historical detail' Clare Chambers 'It has the feel of a small-scale epic, filtered through distinct voices, about family and memory, estrangement and homecoming' James Cahill 'He makes you care about the characters - a deep, moving novel' Georgina Moore
