"Jeanie and Julius are 51 years old and live with their mother in the middle of the English countryside. They do not have internet, television or bank accounts. They don't have a partner. They also have no father: he died when they were children. They grow vegetables in their garden and play music together at night. But when Dot dies suddenly, all the things they've always been without become more essential every day. The twins face an unknown and vast world, and when their mother's secrets begin to come to light, everything they thought they knew about their lives falls apart."--
