A captivating coming-of-age novel about love, sisterhood, secrets and betrayal

‘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.

But as the sisters come of age and embark on their own experiments – in love, drugs, work, motherhood – they find their lives, and their relationships, increasingly in turmoil. Can the love they have for each other transcend the damage of the past? Or is the past too dangerous to examine?
