‘A subtle, clever, evocative book’ Joanna Quinn, Guardian Book of the Day

From the author of Hideous Kinky comes a captivating novel about sisterhood, secrets, betrayal and love. For as long as Lucy can remember, she’s been caught between loyalty to her rootless, idealistic mother and devotion to her fierce and exacting sister, Bea. From her unsettled childhood to her turbulent teenage years, she’s been forced to make a choice.
