Girl Unknown

"'Families don't just come apart because a thread has loosened. The break when it comes is sharp, brutal. It takes ripping and hacking to sever those ties.' When first-year student ZoU Barry walks into university professor David Connolly's office and announces that she is his daughter, he is left reeling. Suddenly his family - imperfect, flawed, but working - is trying to find space for someone new. As ZoU becomes ever more entangled in their lives, the whole family struggles to make sense of her, unclear whether she is a sister, a daughter, a friend, an enemy. Her stories don't quite add up and David's wife becomes determined to discover who this girl really is; an unfortunate innocent or a cuckoo in her nest? But no one could have expected where it all might end. Because they have let into their home a girl that they do not know. And now everything they have built has begun to violently, determinedly, break apart. Praise for Karen Perry"
