Four daughters grow up. Mummy protects them. Or at least she tries. The youngest watches, wonders, counts silences. Announcements after a bombshell, shock following disappointment, the story claws its way along. A dizzying story told in mosaic format, with nimble episodes that, like real life, combine the comic with the tragic, the transcendental and the anecdotal. Mummy asks few questions and maintains many silences. But life goes on, life doesn’t wait.
