About this audiobook
Thirty years ago the grain store burned and two people died, and a seventeen-year-old boy took the blame and left. Now his mother is dead and he is back for a fortnight to sell her house. In four kitchens across the town, four people who have lived comfortably with the agreed version begin to find it will not hold — and the truth, when it finally surfaces, turns out to help almost nobody at all.
