Then there’s Door, Amie’s closest friend, whose voice has abruptly gone quiet. When her nephew Jay comes to stay unexpectedly, Amie is forced to let the outside world into the house. As she helps Jay to navigate a personal crisis, with backup from her eccentric ‘found family’ of appliances, she begins to acknowledge her own secret longings. But does the object of her desiresfeel the same?A wonderfully weird and darkly funny novel from award-winning author Lynda Clark.
