Publisher's Synopsis
Liam Pennywell has been 'let down' from his school teaching job. A classical pedant, he's in his sixty-first year. He downsizes to a tiny out-of-town apartment. Widowed, re-married, divorced and the father of three daughters, Liam is proud of his recall. But he's jolted out of his certainty. Obsessed with a frightening gap in his memory, he sets out to uncover what happened, but finds instead an unusual woman with her own secrets. And a late-flowering love causes more problems. His ex-wife and daughters worry about him, but Liam blunders on. His teenage daughter Kitty is sent to stay - but who is minding whom? His middle daughter, Louise, is a born-again Christian with a son called Jonah, but her certainties leave Liam still more perplexed...
