____________________________________________________
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?

Reviews

Both delicate and profound – about how relationships bind us together and pull us apart
Tracy Chevalier
-
Freud exposes the tensions of their sisterly bond – messy, mistake-strewn and quietly marvellous – with tender charm
Mail on Sunday
-
Freud is brilliant at capturing the time in a personal and a global sense … The details are so vivid you feel like you're remembering the events yourself … it demands and rewards close attention
The Times
-
Lucy's bruising but always engrossing passage from child to adulthood provides the arc here, and we're deeply with her at every moment ... Freud's alternately painful and funny story may cleave close to her fascinating life, but it begs larger questions, too, as Lucy's insight grows into the lasting legacy of her rootless bohemian upbringing
Daily Mail
-
A soulful, semi-autographical tale about finding your place in the world
Good Housekeeping, The 20 best books out in July
-
Gorgeous and sad and gripping and moving - brutally honest about our search for love
Marian Keyes
