SHORTLISTED FOR THE GUARDIAN FIRST BOOK AWARD 2010. In a remote, piney wood in Finland stands a convalescent hospital called Suvanto.

On a late summer's day, a new patient arrives on Sunny's ward, a faded, irascible former ballroom-dance instructor named Julia Dey.

Sunny takes it upon herself to pierce the mystery of Julia's reserve, but soon Julia's tightly coiled anger places her at the centre of the ward's tangled life...
