This tragi-comic novel follows Marina from infancy through a troubled childhood and the forging of a lifelong friendship with someone as lost as herself. The story of the heroine's mental struggles, her musical talent, her escape to London, her offbeat boyfriend, her sojourn in the city and eventual return to Ireland builds to a shocking crescendo. It is a narrative so rich with emotion and alive with intimate detail that when you finish reading you wish there could be more.
These are poems that are inspiring, moving, sad and funny, poems that make us feel we are not alone, that help us to see what's possible and to be comforted. They explore the small things in life that make it special, but which we often neglect to see. It is a spiritual journey of sharing the oneness of life.
