She falls in with a local gang of outsiders and experiences the world she has been missing, but her mother's influence is strong, and she will be forced to decide how much danger she can stomach. It is a powerful connection between parent and child and is told in Shands trademark style, blending elements of the grotesque and tender. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 208 pages\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01 November 2018\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sandstone Press Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShes remembering the curtains closed against whatever might harm them, and all the knick-knacks: the porcelain fairy, the chain of rubber dolphins, CDs piled a meter high.
