Description
Dottie Badoura Fatma Balfour finds solace amid the squalor of her childhood by inventing warm stories of affection around her beautiful names. She knows nothing of their origins and little about her family history or the abuse her ancestors endured when they made their home in Britain. At seventeen, she assumes responsibility for her brother and sister and becomes obsessed with keeping the family together. Yet as Sophie, awkward but voluptuous, drifts away and the confused Hudson is drawn into crime, Dottie is forced to consider her own needs. Drawing on fragmented, tantalising memories, she gradually clears a path through life, gaining the confidence to take risks, form friendships and challenge the labels imposed on her.
