Mrs Foster, a retired lady whose cup is half empty, is starting chemotherapy and is understandably anxious.

But through their unexpected friendship, Maisy Jones gives Mrs Foster much more than just a glimmer of hope.

On an empty road in the middle of the night, Shula stumbles across the body of her uncle. As funeral proceedings begin around them, she and her cousins bring to light the buried secrets of their middle-class Zambian family.
