From the author of the international bestseller Out Stealing Horses
I refuse to compromise.
I refuse to forgive.
I refuse to forget.
Tommy’s mother has gone. She walked out into the snow one night, leaving him and his sisters with their violent father. Without his best friend Jim, Tommy would be in trouble. But Jim has challenges of his own which will disrupt their precious friendship.
A TLS and Guardian Book of the Year

It has been published in fifty languages and was an international bestseller.
