Low stock: 1 left
Scotiabank Giller Prize and Man Booker Prize finalist Emma Donoghue returns with her first novel since The Wonder, a brilliant tale of love, loss and family
A widower at seventy-nine, Noah is about to fly to Nice, hoping to uncover his mother’s wartime secrets. When a social worker calls looking for a temporary home for Michael, a great-nephew Noah’s never met, she manages to talk him into taking the eleven-year-old along. Between jet lag, culture shock and squabbles about everything from steak haché to screen time, the trip starts looking like a disaster. But as this odd couple comes to understand the risks people have always taken for their loved ones, they find they’re more akin than they thought. Michael’s wit and street smarts could help Noah unearth their buried family histories and even hatch plans for an uncertain future.

Condition Descriptions
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.
