A woman. A coma. A family. A secret. Silvia Shute lies in a hospital bed. Family and friends are at her side, each thinking they know the real Silvia. But do they? For Silvia hides a secret. And as her visitors gather, so the truth about Silvia is slowly revealed . . . 'Side-splitting.
A darkly humorous tale that will make you laugh with delight.' Heat 'Written with serious intent, both literary and thematically- Dawn tackles the big ones - love, death, grief, childhood, motherhood, parenthood - head on.' Guardian 'Brilliance. Orchestrating the blackly comic and absurd with the realities of death and mania, French reveals an almost faultless ear.'
