First draft
The Shape of Small Things
When seventeen-year-old Mara is forced to help clear out her grandmother’s house on the coast of Anglesey, she finds a stack of unsent letters that suggest her family has been built on one very careful silence. As she starts tracing who the letters were meant for, Mara gets pulled into a messy summer of old grudges, half-truths and the awkward business of deciding what honesty actually costs.
