Review:
In the midst of the excesses of the 1960s and the horrors of the Vietnam War, Lily Granger betrays her best friend, Kate, by sleeping with Kate's boyfriend, Turner. She becomes pregnant, and to hide from her shame and guilt, she runs away to a home for unwed mothers in a rural Mexican town. Alone and uncertain about her fate, she survives each day by teaching the children of a nearby orphanage--the one her own child will most surely join. When, upon Kate's insistence, Turner shows up in Mexico, Lily becomes even more confused--by his motives, and the glimmer of hope that might lead the both of them to a very different future.
From the Back Cover:
"A brilliantly disturbing story about a modern wife's love and loss, set in a sultry island paradise where mangos rot under foot, and where innocence and corruption both wear the face of a lovely child. A novel one can't forget." --Victoria Glendinning
"Obsessive passion is at the heart of Linda Spalding's excellent first novel. A complex, subtle work." --The Evening Standard
"If you have just picked up this book don't put it down. The writing here is amongst the bet you will read this year - the people between the covers are unforgettable and their story is a shocker: it rises like shark in paradise." --Timothy Findley
