In the weeks before Christmas a mother will lose a son, and a father will gain one. Both will have to find a way to survive when everything they love is in danger of being destroyed.
Louise Deanová je známa svojimi odvážnymi, úprimnými a temne komickými románmi, ktoré prinášajú do anglickej fikcie novú farbu a charakter. Jej písanie sa vyznačuje prenikavou jasnosťou a zdanlivo bez námahy elegantným štýlom, ktorým majstrovsky zachytáva rodinné väzby, sociálne triedy, generačné rozdiely a zaniknuté Anglicko minulosti. Jej diela sú ľudské, dojímavé a mimoriadne vtipné, čo z nej robí jedinečný hlas v súčasnej literatúre.
