“With a gentle touch and a dollop of humour, Smith unveils Tig’s painful history and then leads her back towards love, in the form of two uncles, a dog and a wheel of cheese. This taut, powerful novel will make you angry and hopeful; it will make you cry and laugh—sometimes all on the same page. Tig is truly a love story.”
