Other Names, Other Places

"What were we, then, if ‘English’ was a prize out of our reach and ‘Tunisian’ was the mask we wore at home?"

Now, years later, Nessie seeks independence but finds herself trapped in self-destructive patterns. As unsolved family mysteries resurface, she begins to wonder: what really happened between her parents and Mrs Brown?
