Does she really want to be married to the embalmer, or does she want to be with her childhood sweetheart, off in London? Does she want to have children, and pass this gift on to them? And does she want to be stuck in this small town, or is there more of the world she wants to see - like the South of France, where she's discovered a woman who shares her gift?
Tied to her home by this unusual talent, she begins to question: what if what she's always thought of as a gift is a curse?
"This short novel is a clever and disturbing Orwellian take on what closed borders and a zero tolerance approach to immigration might look like. Young men and women are conscripted to defend ‘the Wall’ from ‘Others’, but have they been told the truth about what they’re actually defending, and what if the people they’re supposed to be fighting against aren’t actually the enemy?"
