How do we live with our secrets? How do we right past wrongs? After half a century confined in a psychiatric hospital, Matty has moved to a care home on the Cumbrian coast. Next year, she’ll be a hundred, and she intends to celebrate in style. Irene, a care assistant, aims to surprise her with a visit from the child she gave up for adoption eight decades before. When lockdown shuts the care-home doors, their plans go awry. Yet, while Irene battles grief and loneliness, Matty thrives. Until the Black Lives Matter protests burst her bubble. Convinced she’s to blame for past atrocities, the guilt is more than she can bear. Will Matty survive to see her hundredth birthday? Will she meet her long-lost child? Rooted in injustice, balanced with humour, the stand-alone sequel to Matilda Windsor Is Coming Home is an ultimately uplifting story about hidden histories and fragile minds.
