Finding your way is never a simple journey ... Empathetic and highly sensitive, Alice reads other people's moods in a heartbeat - she sees both the worst and the best in everyone without them having to say a word. But growing up, Alice's gift marks her out as disruptive, an oddity. At their home in Dublin, she and her brothers live in dread of their mother's unpredictable temper, of whether there will be food in the house, or bills paid. And despite her being desperate to find her own way in the world, she is instead pulled tighter into the embrace of the family she feels so ambivalent about - a family even Alice can't always see the best in. Until a tiny seed of an idea starts to germinate. Until a chain of events means Alice starts to trace out her own path forward. And until, in a tiny flat perched high above the noise and bustle of London, she begins to figure out how to find her own path. There, the journey to see herself can finally begin.

Bildungsromans.

Psychological fiction.
