'Julia Pierpont has as sharp and humane an eye as anyone writing' Jonathan Safran Foer Longlisted for the International Dylan Thomas Prize 2016 An anonymous package arrives in the post: a cardboard box containing sheaves of printed emails chronicling New York-artist Jack's secret life. The package is addressed to his wife Deb, but it's delivered into the wrong hands: her children's. With this vertiginous opening begins a heart-stopping debut about a family blown apart by an affair, yet still painfully tethered together.
