A beautiful new edition of one of acclaimed writer Elizabeth Strout' s much-loved novels Katherine is only five-years-old. Struck dumb with grief at her mother' s death it is down to her father the heartbroken minister Tyler Caskey to bring his daughter out of silence she has observed in the wake of the family' s tragedy. But Tyler Caskey is barely surviving himself. His cold church-assigned home is colder still since Lauren' s death and he struggles to find the right words for his sermons struggles to be a leader to his congregation when he himself is lost.   When Katherine' s schoolteacher calls to discuss his daughter' s anti-social behaviour it sparks a chain of events that begins to tear down Tyler' s defences. The small-town rumour-mill has much to make of Katherine' s odd behaviour and even more to say about Tyler' s relationship with his housekeeper Connie Hatch. And in Tyler' s darkest hour a startling discovery will test his congregation' s humanity - and his own will to endure the kinds of trials that sooner or later test us all. From the Booker-shortlisted author of Oh William! this is a startlingly beautiful novel about love and abandonment faith and hypocrisy and the peril of family secrets…
