I like to keep my distance from real lives, yeah? I mean, why would I want to know what was right at the heart of anyone else? Why would I want to share someone else's troubles with them, when I could just rock along, coasting on the surface, worry about nothing much more than where I was drinking tonight, or whether I was getting enough fun on the weekend ...Colin should have the house to himself this Christmas. His flatmates are away and so is girlfriend, who has gone on holiday without admitting the chill in their relationship. So who is the distraught woman in his lounge, along with a pushchair and screaming baby? Like it or not, Colin must play the host to these uninvited guests, whose revelations begin to work loose his own tightly guarded secrets. Beautifully written, moving, acutely observed and psychologically deep, Emma Neale's latest novel captures and illuminates past and contemporary New Zealand relationships without a single false note.
