Aaward-winning Irish writer Caoilinn Hughes introduces the reader to a heroine of mythic proportions in the form of one Gael Foess. Raised in Dublin by single-minded, careerist parents, Gael observes from a young age how a person's ambitions and ideals can be compromised. When Gael's financier father walks out during the economic crash of 2008, her family fractures. A dazzingly original debut novel.
