We Are Not in the World / CONOR O'CALLAGHAN - 258 pages ; 22 cm.

Heartbroken after a long, painful love affair, a man takes a job driving a haulage lorry through France. Travelling with him is a secret passenger - his daughter. Twenty-something, unkempt, off the rails. With a week on the road together, man and girl must attempt to restore themselves and each other, and to repair a relationship that is at once fiercely loving and deeply scarred. As the pair journey down the motorways and through the service stations of France, a devastating picture reveals itself - a story of grief, of shame, and of love in all its complex, dark and glorious manifestations.
