Anna is on her way to the hospital where her brother
has been sectioned when she falters, and in that pause
her world splinters for the reader into a blazing display
of memory and madness, of childhood security treasured and
shattered, and of families blighted by psychological trauma -
her brother's and that of her boyfriend's father, a Vietnam Vet.
But, in Elina Hirvonen's skilful hands, the grimness is
illuminated by firecracker insight and flashes of surprising beauty. And, above all, there is hope.
