Product Description
Christina’s mother, Greta, walked out on her when she was just six
years old' Now in her early thirties' Christina has reached a desperate
crossroads and goes on the run with her youngest child in a bid to
find her mother and sanctuary, from her husband and family.
Her journey takes her across the Atlantic to America' and ultimately
the west coast of Canada' where she meets Luke' a Native Canadian on
a mission of his own. At times challenged and inspired- by her alien new
environment, Christina returns to memories of her childhood' growing
up on the river in Meath' Ireland' and her relationship with her
enigmatic stepmother, Angeline once her mother's best friend.
Against the backdrop of the open, wild and dramatic landscape of the
pacific coast, which contrasts so strongly with the enclosed spaces of her
homeland, Christina begins to acknowledge the shameful reason behind
her own failed motherhood and discovers a dark her family has
never revealed.
