The characters are real people - imperfect, irrational, insecure.
There are no trite endings.
I loaned it to my mother while she was visiting me, and at 1pm in the morning I found her in the kitchen with the light on, tears streaming down her face - "I can't put it down, what's going to happen next.." This book tapped into my mother's worst fear, that her partner might desert her.
My favourite character is Billy, the young daughter. There are few adult books out there that describe children in such non-patronising terms. And her relationship with her father is something to aspire to.
This book is different, thought-provoking, and life-affirming. Give it a chance.
