Ronnie Fox is a pharmacist from Dublin who ends up living in the Midlands by accident. When her mother dies, she's left with many unanswered questions about her family and her home.

If you've ever asked yourself: How did I get here?, this book is for you.

[..] Concerned with the idea of home, and of trying to fill in the gaps of sometimes diffuse relationships, it is a beautiful piece of work. A sense of loneliness, of trying to get to grips with being out of place, plays out across its pages. - Una Mullally, The Ticket - The Irish Times
