À propos de la quatrième de couverture
Janet is caught between care work and caring for herself.Her life revolves around Sean, a talented fine art student, living and workingwith cerebral palsy. Both Janet and Sean are new to London and far from theirfamilies. Both are finding a means of escape through pushing their bodies tothe limit.
When Sean is faced with an unexpected and deeply personal tragedy, Janet mustlet her guard down at last and discover what she's prepared to fight for.
'Finely written and thoughtfully devised, this is also a disquieting and unsettling read about the balance of power, cruelty and compassion . . . Allison writes unobtrusively, setting up illuminating parallels and gently guiding the reader to unexpected understanding' Guardian
