Tansy Harris is a terrible mother.
The kind who forgets to pick her children up from school.
The kind who drinks half a bottle of wine at lunchtime.
The kind who contemplates an affair with her son’s teacher.
Something must be done, and Tansy decides the answer is a trip to India – where better to take stock, sort her head out? She will leave her husband and two boys at home, and come back a better person.
India is incredible, everything – and more – Tansy hoped it would be. But when she visits an old backpacker friend who’s joined a cult in the south, she lifts the lid on something terrifying. And the moment Tansy realises she’s in the wrong place at the wrong time…is the moment it’s too late.
