In this extraordinarily moving, debut novel, it's been five years since Rose died in a terrorist attack in the center of London. This tragic loss tears the family apart. The father drinks heavily and distrusts all Muslims and the mother runs away with the leader of the victims' support group. The story is told through the eyes of Jaime, Rose's brother who was just 5 at the time and has little memory of the event. His struggle to comprehend the whole situation will resonate with readers long after they finish this book.
