Jeanie y Julius tienen 51 años y viven con su madre en mitad de la campiña inglesa. No tienen internet, televisión ni cuentas bancarias. No tienen pareja. Tampoco tienen padre: murió cuando eran niños. Cultivan verduras en su huerto y tocan música juntos por las noches. Pero cuando Dot muere de forma repentina, todas las cosas de las que siempre han prescindido se vuelven más imprescindibles cada día. Los mellizos se enfrentan a un mundo desconocido e inabarcable, y cuando los secretos de su madre comienzan a salir a la luz, todo lo que creían saber sobre sus vidas se desmorona. Con sensibilidad e inteligencia, la autora compone un relato desgarrador sobre la pobreza rural en el siglo XXI y obliga al lector a mirar en esos rincones de la sociedad donde nadie entra nunca a limpiar el polvo.
Jeanie and Julius are 51 years old and live with their mother in the middle of the English countryside. They do not have internet, television or bank accounts. They don't have a partner. They also have no father: he died when they were children. They grow vegetables in their garden and play music together at night. But when Dot dies suddenly, all the things they've always been without become more essential every day. The twins face an unknown and vast world, and when their mother's secrets begin to come to light, everything they thought they knew about their lives falls apart. With sensitivity and intelligence, the author composes a heartbreaking story about rural poverty in the 21st century and forces the reader to look into those corners of society where no one ever goes to clean up the dust.
