Alice McDonald has escaped all the obvious traps that lie in wait for women. She loves her job and enjoys her clever, spirited children. Her house is filled with friends and her husband (Dan the New Man) is an acknowledged paragon. At her thirty-seventh birthday party, Alice could be forgiven for thinking that their family life has been a pretty successful production so far.
But love is treacherous, and children never quite what they seem. Two months later, alone on a desperate quest through the bleak lanes of Norfolk, Alice cannot see how her life could ever be rebuilt. It takes a child, an old woman and the eccentric glory of a Victorian fun fair to bring Alice and Daniel safe home from their long, cold, separate journeys.
