Mim Cohen roams the world in a travelling bookshop, with her dad and brother and a horse called Flossy.
Flossy leads them where she will, to the place where they're needed most ... the place where the perfect book will find its way home.
Now Mim has arrived in Salzburg – the town of Mozart and mountains, gardens and castles, sachertorte and sausages ... and Mum! Why is she here? And why doesn't she recognise Mim and Nat?
Mim knows they're here to help Mum remember. To show her love and patience. To fix her muddled mind.
If only they could find Mum the right book. If only Dad would stop giving everyone the same silly book.
