A child is found standing on the street, with an empty bucket in her hand, and n
o memory of her name, her family or her past. Elsewhere, a girl grows up surroun
ded by familiar faces - a wet nurse, a piano teacher, a gardener, a best friend
and a distant mother - but soon finds them slipping mysteriously from her life.
In the company of these girls, we are compelled to tread the uncertain and spiky
terrain of memory, where words are dropped like clues to reveal what has been h
idden, forgotten or erased.
