For a book without many men in it this focused a lot on them which I found slightly baffling.

This became one of my favourite books alongside the Memory Police and Our Wives Under the Sea

Don' t read the preface first, however, Sophie Mackintosh's words summize the novel best:

No life is ordinary, the book seems to say. No life is without hope, without light, even during the unimaginable. (...)
How much of our humanity is intrinsic? How much remains, when all else is stripped away?
