After the tourists leave the Island at the end of summer Larkin's family is left a baby, Sophie, to care for until her mother can look after her herself. Sophie's arrival creates the chance for Larkin to express her anger at her parents after the death of her new-born baby brother. Her parents never talk about him and didn't name him. Larkin never saw him and has not had her grief recognised and acknowledged. Once her anger is verbalised the family begins to heal.
