A finalist in the NZ Booklovers best book award, and named one of the best books of 2018 in the Listener Magazine.

Valerie reads George Eliot to get to sleep – just to take her mind off worries over her patients, her children, their father and the next family dinner.

Elena is so obsessed with health, traditional food, her pregnancy and her blog she doesn’t notice that her partner, Malcolm the ethicist, is getting himself into a moral dilemma of his own making.

Evie wants to save the world one chicken at a time. Meanwhile, her boyfriend, Michael, is on a quest to reconnect with his Māori heritage and discover his
own identity.

Rosa is eight years old and lost in her own fantasy world, but she’s the only one who can tell something’s not right.
