***
I had never been good, and there was no point in trying now.
On a small art college campus in upstate New York, Charlotte begins her final year with a lie. Her father died over the summer, she says. Heart attack. Very sudden.
Awkward and insular, Charlotte has never really fit in. But now her sympathetic classmates treat her differently, showing their concern in attention, affection, and, as she begins a relationship with fellow student Katarina, even love. Perhaps some things are worth lying for - no matter how big the lie gets.
But six thousand miles away, in England, her father is very much alive, alone and unhappy in the cramped childhood home Charlotte left behind. She has always kept difficult truths at arm's length, but his resolve to visit his distant daughter might just be the one thing she can't control.

'The sharpest, meanest of prose in the best possible way. An outstanding debut from author to watch' HEATHER DARWENT, AUTHOR OF THE THINGS WE DO TO OUR FRIENDS
