Billy The Girl

Billy The Girl
"I wish you could just like consider  consider the chance of it being an accident. Cos youre so sure. Youre so sure that I did this awful thing." Billy is out waiting for love where she last saw it. Her mum is certain love has walked into her life again. Her sister thinks love could still be found somewhere in the house. . .but Billy herself isn't even allowed through the door. . .In Katie Hims' sweet, stark family elegy, love never dies but sometimes, like Billy, it has to sleep in the caravan with Frank's ashes and a bear costume. Billy the Girl is a sharp, yet gentle, look at a fractured family dealing with a lifetime of mistrust.
