Heartbroken after a long, painful love affair, a man drives a haulage lorry from England to France. Travelling with him is a secret passenger - his daughter. Twenty-something, unkempt, off the rails.
With a week on the road together, father and daughter must restore themselves and each other, and repair a relationship that is at once fiercely loving and deeply scarred.
As they journey south, down the motorways, through the service stations, a devastating picture reveals itself: a story of grief, of shame, and of love in all its complex, dark and glorious manifestations

– Kamila Shamsie, author of Women's Prize for Fiction winning Home Fire
"Powerful...compelling and profoundly moving"
– Irish Times
"Heartbreaking, sweetly logical and tentatively hopeful"
– Spectator
