For five contented years, Bridie has been Ruth's steadfast companion in an increasingly harsh world. Now, without warning, all has changed, and both the future and history of their lives together are suddenly, shockingly, called into question. "Closing the book" is a moving, yet ultimately hopeful exploration of the bitter cruelties of nature and the violence of man-made suffering. Following the success of her last three acclaimed novels, award-winning author Stevie Davies offers a beautiful and powerful story of strength, survival and reconciliation.
