Publisher's Synopsis
"a powerful and moving examination of a life lived negotiating loneliness" Independent "skilful plotting and appealing characters" Telegraph Liz Dunn is 42 years old, and lonely. Her house is like "a spinster's cell block", and she may or may not snore - there's never been anybody to tell her. Then one day in 1997, with the comet Hale Bopp burning bright in the blue-black sky, Liz receives an urgent phone call asking her to visit a young man in hospital. All at once, the loneliness that has come to define her is ripped away by this funny, smart, handsome young stranger, Jeremy. Her son.
