From the author of CLOSE RELATIONS, SMILE and SEESAW, the story of a girl whose family keeps pigs outside their bungalow near Heathrow.

--- Gets beneath the skin of incest. Beautifully written. Insightful. Astounding

I usually shy away from books concerning child molestation. However, this book is so articulate, it travels the depth and complications, between father and daughter. Whilst finding the father, ignorant and selfish( rather understatement-on my part), the book makes you understand how it can happen. NOT understand the abuser, but how the lines and borders can be totally confused for a child. With a mother who is absent-even when she's there. Fantastic read. Also tragic-for the child.
