Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Everyone has heard of Girls. But what happened to the women they became?
The Girls
What you need to know before your trail
At the time of her death, the press wrote many things about Ingrid Olssen:
She was a brilliant artist. She was a terrible mother to her girls, Mattie and Nora. And that her legacy would live on forever.
Even so, it’s unlikely the world will ever see another Ingrid Olssen exhibition – her last request to her daughters was to throw her ashes in the canyon and her paintings in the sea.
But as Mattie and Nora reluctantly embark on an all-or-nothing trip to fulfil her wishes, they start to unpick the painful scars of their past.
And soon they begin to realise that the ties that bound them, might also break them…

Travel Guide
California
There is a definite road trip feel to the novel. The girls in question have been asked to drop the paintings of one of their friends off the Golden Gate bridge and sprinkle her ashes off the Grand Canyon. Two very distinct scenes here and we go on a road trip with little adventures along the way to the final destination as it were.
Sun, long roads and that Californian feeling permeate the whole book.
