This summer, Clover Quinn wants to find the missing pieces of her story.
Clover Quinn was a surprise. She used to imagine she was the good kind, now she´s not sure. She´d like to ask Dad about it, but growing up in the saddest chapter of someone else´s story is difficult. She tries not to skate on the thin ice of his memories.

Darren has done his best. He´s studied his daughter like a seismologist on the lookout for waves and surrounded her with everything she might want - everything he can think of, at least - to be happy.

What Clover wants is answers. This summer, she thinks she can find them in the second bedroom, which is full of her mother´s belongings. Volume isn´t important, what she is looking for is essence; the undiluted bits: a collection of things that will tell the full story of her mother, her father and who she is going to be.

But what you find depends on what you´re searching for.
"Carys Bray´s words are filled with the most incredible tenderness and wisdom, and every character is so rich, they each become a story in their own right. The Museum of You is beautiful and clever, and honest. I loved every moment of it" Joanna Cannon, author of THE TROUBLE WITH GOATS AND SHEEP
