What to expect

LOOK AT ME is a superb coming-of-age novel and an unsettlling yet entertaining exploration of grief.

'A sharp-eyed novel about grief, family and understanding'

Woman & Home Magazine

Lizzy's mother died two years ago, leaving a family bereft by her absence and a house still filled with her things. Then, one day, Lizzy finds a letter from a stranger to her father, and discovers he has another child. Lizzy invites her into their world in an act of outraged defiance. Almost immediately, she realises her mistake.
