Publisher's Synopsis
Jess Richards's beloved father died suddenly at the age of sixty-seven in Scotland. Three months later, she travelled to Aotearoa New Zealand, to a new relationship. This is the story of her grief and her love, of a place lost and a place found, of a memory-packed past and a poised present. In this achingly empty space, away from her family and her father's grave, Jess reconstructs her early life and ponders the self who is lonely, different, and invisible. A late diagnosis of autism adds a conventional label to a uniquely personal portrait.
