Gopi has been playing squash almost since she could walk. After her mother's death her father sets her a silent, gruelling programme of practice, and the court becomes the centre of her life, its strokes and echoes setting the rhythm of her days. She loses touch with her sisters, yet when she plays she has company: her father, and Ged, a gifted boy two years older. Grief, sisterhood and an immigrant family's life run through the book.
