English Summary/英文概要： 2014, London: The crash is the unravelling of Margaret. Trapped inside a car about to explode, she’s rescued by a scarred stranger who then disappears. Margaret remembers little, but she’s spent her life lost and remembering little - her childhood is full of holes and stolen memories. And now, for the first time, she has a burning desire to discover who she actually is. And who the man is who saved her life. 1985, Scotland: Big George, the dreamer, the soft touch of a family of notorious Glaswegian hard men, has not seen his baby girl, Moll, since she was born. And now he wants her back - if only she can get to know him, surely she’d embrace him as her father? But when the idyllic father-daughter reunion goes wrong, George and Moll find themselves on a road trip that changes everything, for both of them, forever. Flitting effortlessly between past and present, this is a harsh, gritty yet ultimately uplifting journey of an estranged father and daughter, exploring the strength of family ties and our huge capacity for forgiveness.
