What Took You So Long?
€ 21.25
ISBN: 9781398566248
Mary's husband unexpectedly leaves her after forty-five years. At the same time, Emma finally finds the courage to do a runner from hers. For the first time in years, mother and daughter find themselves living under one roof in the Cornish fishing village of Polperro, along with eight-year-old Ivy (and her beloved stuffed giraffe, Tw*t). They have returned to Mary's childhood home after the recent death of her mother. But as they navigate their new lives and attempt to reconnect with one another, long-forgotten family truths begin to surface. Going home was never part of the plan; neither was digging up the past. Warm and wickedly funny, Daisy May Cooper brings her trademark dark humour to her twisty and touching debut novel.
