'A beautiful and evocative novel about grief, about growing up,
about losing and winning. The people and places in this book will

and a teenage girl's struggle to transcend herself.Eleven-year-old
Gopi has been playing squash since she was old enough to hold a
racket. When her mother dies, her father enlists her in a quietly
brutal training regimen, and the game becomes her world. Slowly,
she grows apart from her sisters. Her life is reduced to the sport,
guided by its rhythms: the serve, the volley, the drive, the shot
and its echo.But on the court, she is not alone. She is with her
pa. She is with Ged, a thirteen-year-old boy with his own
formidable talent. She is with the players who have come before
her. She is in awe.An unforgettable coming-of-age story, Chetna
Maroo’s first novel is a moving exploration of the closeness of

competition off the court.' – The Times'Stunning . . . Spare,
tender, brilliantly achieved . . . A novel that unfolds in silences
. . . and dares to leave much unsaid.' – The Guardian
