12-year-old Emily Iris looks forward to the house guests that her family take in from time to time to diffuse the tension in their unhappy home.

But then tragedy strikes and their lives are changed forever.
Set in late-1960s South Africa, this exquisite, beautifully written novel will enthral teenagers and adults alike.
