It was a peace offering, I knew that
you don't appear on someone's doorstep uninvited, saying Alright
unless you want to make amends
It's been six years since Rosa last saw her brother. Six years since they last spoke. Six years since they last fought. Six years since she gave up on the idea of having a brother.
She's spent that time carefully not thinking about him. Not remembering their childhood. Not mentioning those stories, even to the people she loves.
Now the distance she had so carefully put between them has collapsed. Can she find a way to make peace - to forgive, to be forgiven - when the past she's worked so hard to contain threatens to spill over into the present?
From the acclaimed author of little scratch, this is a moving, powerfully honest novel about how we love, how we grieve and how we forgive.
