This exquisite novella explores the complications of intersecting lives and the harbouring of secrets. It is about the absence of women — through death, disappearance, separation — and from just failing to be noticed. In these intricately woven lives, we hear the sage advice of the absent yet ever-present Erris to fly far, be free. At its heart this is about the fight for reclaiming of stories and for the right to tell the truth about one’s own life.
