Ten year old Walter decided to leave with his father, while his twin, Oliver, stayed in England with their mother. Walter feels his journey has been in vain when he discovers his dead brothers wife, Olivia, still living in the family home.
Walter explores the city he has not seen for forty years, and tries to avoid the woman he thinks he does not need to know. Walter is delighted to discover he has a nephew, Paul, but he does not speak to his mother, for its not really his mother. This heart-warming story will have you questioning everything you hold to be true.
