Eve is attempting to come to terms with her ageing mother, who has dementia and lives in a care home, and employs Erin, a total stranger, to visit the home and pretend to be her. The act has profound consequences, as all three women begin a process of doing, undoing and redoing, with complicated and ultimately necessary truths revealed about each of their lives.

Ungone tells the story of a single decision—a deceptively simple thing—through which the fractured, multi-layered nature of identity and the self is both revealed and interrogated.

'Ungone is as original as it is thrilling and as beautiful as it is haunting. A whip-smart examination of the complexities of end-of-life care and our sense of duty to the ones we love. It is a poignant and fascinating novel, masterfully written.' —HARRY MACQUEEN (writer/director of Supernova)
