English Summary/英文概要： When Lara Moorhouse was twelve, her father was killed in a freak accident, a helicopter crash in bad weather. After his death, the secrets and lies of this eminent plastic surgeon - who divided his time between Belfast and London at the height of the Troubles - were brutally exposed in the tabloids.

Twenty-five years later, lonely, troubled Lara starts to write her memoirs, in a last, desperate attempt to understand the father she never really knew, the mother who would not leave him, and the devastation they left behind.
