Synopsis: 'One of our most exciting young writers' - The Times'Wasn't the life of any person made up out of the telling of two tales, after all? People lived in the space between the realities of their lives and the hopes they had for them. Everyone needed their stories, the other side of the ribbon of their lives, the real life and the dream, the statement and the meaning, all of them a tape's breadth apart from each other, impossibly divided, indivisibly close.'Once a year, every year, Robert's family come together at a rambling old house in the country to celebrate his birthday. Aunts, uncles, grandchildren, distant cousins - it is a milestone in their lives and has been for decades. But this year Robert doesn't want to be reminded of what has happened since they last met - and neither, for quite different reasons, does his granddaughter Kate. Robert is determined that this will be the final party. But for both him and Kate, it may also become the most important gathering of all.As lyrical and true to life as Norris's critically acclaimed debut Five Rivers Met on a Wooded Plain, this is a compelling, emotional story of family, human frailty, and the marks that love leaves on us.'Norris writes beautifully, unearthing extraordinary depths in the everyday... a memorable writer, mature beyond his years.' -Sunday Times'Norris has a gift for tapping in to ordinary lives and finding the extraordinary in them' - Daily Mail
