Más información sobre el libro

From the author of The Luck comes Scrap, a story of displacement and belonging in post-industrial Swansea. Life is hard on the scrap heap for fostercarer Mackie, who takes each day in his stride, going through the motions of juggling his tyrannical boss Tranter and caring for grandchildren while his wayward daughter is missing. To make matters worse, Mackie harbours a painful past hidden in the roots of his treasured rowan tree. But his fate takes an unexpected turn when he and his equally defeated coworkers discover The Kid, a young boy hiding out in the boot of an abandoned scrap car. The Kid has a remarkable gift - he can draw the future, and this opens up new possibilities that Mackie could never have foreseen
