When Candida dies after a long illness, she leaves her five-year-old daughter, Pagan, in his best friend Leo's care. Candida's adoptive parents are horrified. Refusing to accept that a gay man is a suitable person to bring up a child, they challenge Leo's guardianship in the courts. A novel that brings a powerful exploration of the nature of parenthood and meaning of family life to a new generation of readers.

‘A subtle and complex reflection on the wider nature of love and attachment.’ Sunday Telegraph

‘A moving novel about the survival of a modern family in the grip of death and the dead hand of convention.’ New Yorker.

‘Arditti writes exactly like Dickens. He demands participation from the reader in an era of detachment.’ Scotland on Sunday.
