Polly is a recovering alcoholic and single mum to her son Louis. He is getting to an age where he's curious about his dad. Where does he live? What does he do? Why doesn't he want to see his son? But life is about to change when Polly meets Ben in AA. After the tragic death of his sister, he is now looking after his young niece, Emily. Polly and Ben feel an instant connection and it's not long before Polly is teaching Ben how to plait hair and Ben is kicking a football about with Louis. It seems perfect. Then, Polly's past catches up with her and she has to decide if she is ready to face it. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Polly is the main protagonist. She’s a single mother raising her son Louis who has just started school. The story works in a series of scenes, both present - moving forward - and past, in a way that could have been confusing in less talented hands, but which works extremely well. She has a supportive brother who is almost blind, and meets a likeable man who has just had to take on guardianship of his small niece. She is picking up the pieces of a difficult life but hopes to move forward... then Louis's father comes back into her life
I found myself feeling deeply involved with Polly almost from the start, and loved the way Hugo was portrayed as such a strong character. The plot is quite slow-moving with gradual revelations rather than anything too dramatic. This isn’t a book for those who like fast action, or thrills. However, if you like character-based modern fiction with a great deal of insight, I would recommend this very highly.
