Having lived in Paris for nearly twenty years as the novel opens, Rosie begins to reflect upon her early years in the city, and to examine patterns of escapism and denial in her life. It is with the arrival of her eccentric sister Deb from America, and after a trip to Budapest to search out their mother’s childhood home, that Rosie begins to face and understand her legacy.’ (from rear wrap)
