Book Condition:
A child’s summer song of heat and grief: one loveable, sensitive young boy’s obsession with undoing the damage done.
‘I’m coming up to my ninth birthday. It’s the spring of 1978. Our kilometre dial has clocked into thousands and started its cycle over and over again…Our car must keep going, always.’

In the midst of his chaotic, wonderful family, Jean-Pio must save himself from drowning in panic, as if learning to breathe in water…
