Mika In Real Life

Emiko Jean

Michael Joseph €16.50

At 35, Mika is jobless and floundering. She’s abandoned her art and old trauma keeps disrupting her relationships. Then the daughter she gave up for adoption turns up, 16 years old and brimming with curiosity about her mother. Mika can’t resist embellishing her world with a touch of sparkle, but soon realises that a reckoning with real life can’t be avoided. A funny, touching celebration of second chances.
