Helen’s writing is her biggest ally. No matter what she’s been through over the years, her journal has offered a safe space to let it all out. From her awful schooldays when she was bullied and alone, to the blood, sweat and tears she’s overheard or witnessed from the house next door. At least, no matter how isolated and bored Helen is, she isn’t caught up in all that. Until she is. Book Club questions at the back of the book
