Theresa's mother has finally had enough of her daughter's waywardness and drinking so she packs her off to stay with her father. There, Theresa finds a more complex web of relationships between people, places and the past. The consequences of her actions reverberate immediately around this small, tightly-knit community and she begins, through her grandmother, to understand more about herself and others. This story, set in Cornwall, is marked by a fond depiction of family life, caring for each other and being well-fed. A trip into the past, too?
