A new Deseronto novel from the internationally bestselling author of Tell and Deafening

At the end of Frances Itani's Scotiabank Giller Prize--shortlisted Tell, a baby is adopted by a young Deseronto couple who are coming to terms with the end of the Great War. Eighteen years on, the baby, Hanora, now a young woman, is told about her adoption. As a second world war looms, Hanora is determined to uncover the mysteries of her identity. This quest will take her across the ocean with her cousin, Billie, and headlong into the tumult of Europe.

But Hanora will not let the past lie, even though, decades later, the truth remains beyond her grasp. Billie, whose memory is fading as she slips into dementia, provides some clues, but it isn't until Hanora discovers a set of diaries written by a late local artist and what they reveal about her...
