Michael is a bright kid: funny, likable, obsessed with books and music. His sister Celia is the practical one, sensible, far tougher than her brothers. And then there's Alec, the most ambitious of the three but also the most sensitive. The children are still living at home when their father walks into the woods alone one day and takes his own life. Years later, one of them will follow him. Longlisted for the National Book Award 2016.
