Synopsis

Seventy-two-year-old, red-haired Winnie—homeless and abandoned time and again by those she's trusted—would say she's no trouble. She is content to let the days go by, minding her own business, bothering no one. Winnie would rather not recall the past, and at her age, doesn't see much point in thinking about the future. But she is catapulted out of her exile when a young girl robs her of her suitcase and her wig—her only material possessions.Winnie then embarks on a journey to find the thief, and what begins as a search for stolen belongings becomes the rediscovery of a stolen life. Forced to take stock of how events long buried have brought her to a derelict house on the edge of nowhere, she relives the secrets of a past she had disowned.As she pieces together the fragments of her life, Winnie recognizes that she is no longer simply on a hunt for stolen goods. After all these years, she has not escaped from her life at all: she has been circling it, and now must come to terms with it.Also available as a Grove Press hardcover.

If you are a fan of Azzopardi's first novel _The Hiding Place_ do not go into this book with high hopes. The story of and elderly women who has suffered from a hard life is revisited in a style much like the first novel but just doesn't "own up" to it. If you can force yourself to continue reading th......more

Goodreads review by Coleen on April 17, 2012

5/13/09 - The description of this novel had all the elements I tend to love -- a shift of past & present, gradual revealing of family & life history, a little bit of mystery & some family secrets. And while I enjoyed it, it didn't grip me quite as much as I think it could've. I found myself confused......more
