  In 1968, naive dental receptionist Rose purchases a one-way ticket to the United States and sets off to meet a man she knows only as Washington Harold.

And why are the unlikely duo so intent on tracking down the elusive Dr Wheeler – a man Rose credits with rescuing her from a traumatic childhood? Bainbridge’s final novel is as intricate and thought-provoking as any of her best work.
