A harsh winter is raging, a crisis has dragged on for too long, and a very young mother, still half a child, is days away from losing her grip altogether when she makes up her mind: she will take her two little ones on an outing to the funfair. Sometimes she feels they are not her own but foundlings, disaster survivors she has carried out of a fire their real parents died in. The novel is built around a woman whose isolation is devastating precisely because she is chasing an ideal of good mothering she can never meet, and it opens the deepest, darkest compartment of maternal feeling.
