Book description
Saz Martin is settled into new motherhood with her partner Molly and
their nine-month-old daughter Matilda. Things have not been easy since
the birth - late nights, early mornings, and a sudden death have all
taken their toll - but with Molly?s return to fulltime work and Saz
happily taking on the role of Matilda?s prime carer, both women feel
they are finally adjusting to parenthood and the demands of their new
life. And then the phone rings. The door knocks. A well-known figure
arrives. Instead of moving forward into her role as a mother, Saz is
forced to face her past, confronting people and events she had long ago
hoped to forget. In a story of how the sins of our past always come back
to haunt us, Stella Duffy reveals secrets no-one knew about Saz Martin,
explores why Saz is who she is, and asks, is it still possible to
believe in our heroes ? and our lovers ? when their flaws are well and
truly exposed? Saz Martin is settled into new motherhood with her
