Set largely between Hong Kong and the Scottish Highlands, Maggie O'Farrell's third novel is a story about family and emigration - and the way you can never escape your family, or their history, no matter how far you travel.

A set of tragic circumstances and a hasty marriage bring Jake from Hong Kong to Britain, where he embarks upon a quest for the father he never knew. When Jake and Stella meet, both their lives are changed forever, but not before Stella's past is brought painfully out into the open.

I've been a fan of Maggie O'Farrell's since I read The Hand That First Held Mine. This book was hard to find although I did locate a copy via Alibris. Her characters are always beautifully drawn and this book is no exception. She spends time with each character and then brings them together in rather inventive ways. I highly recommend this book -- it is a great read.
