Description

Rosemary's just started college, and she's decided not to tell anyone about her family. Rosemary is now an only child, but she used to have a sister the same age as her, and an older brother. Both are now gone - vanished from her life. There was something unique about Rosemary's sister, Fern. This is her story; it begins towards the end, and then loops back to the beginning, twice over. You'll have to find out for yourself what it is that makes her unhappy family unlike any other. But when you do find out, you’ll find it really hard to keep a secret.

"‘A novel so readably juicy and surreptitiously smart, it deserves all the attention it can get.’ BARBARA KINGSOLVER ‘A dark cautionary tale hanging out, incognito-style, in what at first seems a traditional family narrative. It is anything but.’ ALICE SEBOLD"
