A GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR
SHORTLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE
Fife, in the blazing hot summer of 1994. Cora Mowat is stuck on a seaside council estate with a thousand dreams and a restless brain. She's dying to escape but unsure of what the future holds - if it holds anything at all for a girl like her.
When her Mam's new boyfriend moves in, tensions rise in their tiny house. As their attempts to forge a makeshift family unravel, Cora rails against her small-town existence in search of love and acceptance. But sometimes you can't move forward until you find your way back...
Drawn from life but written with riotous imagination, this extraordinary debut explores what it means to come of age in a forgotten corner of Scotland and yearn for a life that feels out of reach.
