Publisher's Synopsis
When her boyfriend dies on the last day of school, Rachel's world falls apart. Gouging her skin with blades no longer gives her the relief she craves. She allows a stranger, who turns up at her New Hampshire home claiming to be her long-lost aunt, into her life. As she convinces Rachel to travel with her to a remote coastal village in Ireland, a tale of chance and despair turns into a weirdly compelling transatlantic love story. Kooky, eccentric and richly amusing, this is a stunning debut from a talented new writer.
