Miri was whole, once.

She had a best friend, once.

She knew who she was – or she thought she did.

But now she is a million lonely molecules, flying through the air to a new life on the other side of the world. Rome is light and loud and cobblestones and gelaterias and ancient buildings next to modern ones. Rome is new people and a chance to get out of her head. Or is it into her head she needs to go, to find herself again?

A poetic novel about friendship, family, forgiveness, trauma, love and happiness from an incomparable author.
