The cut of love

When her best friend Leah questions her about the criss-cross marks on her arms, Jane blames the cat. Everyone has secrets, even Leah. She never mentions her brother Jack, yet his absence is palpable. Alison, Leah's mum, escapes into her dreams, where she becomes reunited with the son who was killed in a road accident ; an accident for which she blames herself. When Alison meets Jane's dad, Dermot, it seems briefly that they might be kindred spirits. Darker conclusions, however, lie in wait.
