THE BOOK
NO SMALL THING
BY ORLAINE MCDONALD
When Livia left her husband and her daughter Mickey, she never imagined Mickey would find her years later, with a daughter of her own. Now, Livia, Mickey, and young Summer must share one small council flat in South London as they learn to look out for each other as much as themselves. Richly drawn and burning with hope and desire, No Small Thing is a novel confronting the complicated power of a mother’s instinct and the damage we can do to the people we love most.
