NO SMALL THING (PB)

Alone among the lush tangle of plants on his balcony, Earl watches as a broken family reunites in the flat below. There's Livia, who has been running for long enough to think her past might never catch up with her. Then Mickey, angry about having a mother who left, a father who died, about the mess she's made of her own life. And Summer, whose mum is always sad or out looking for men to distract her. A novel that evokes the power and pain of mothering.
