Dolores Gauci returns to her old home in Cardiff’s Tiger Bay for the funeral of her mother. Her father Frankie had been a gambler. His addiction had led to the loss of everything, including Dolores’s beauty when she is disfigured in a fire. These events traumatise the family and the wider Maltese immigrant community of which it is a part. This beautifully wrought first novel introduces us to a world few of us have ever imagined.
