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
-
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
-
Gorgeous and sad and gripping and moving - brutally honest about our search for love
Marian Keyes
-
A novel with the sharp tang of memory … I was swept up into this world of visceral intimacies, the fraught but powerful relationships between the main characters more than gripping enough to carry me along … It's the relationship between the sisters that lies at the heart of the novel, and Freud teases out its various pressure points with delicate, moving effect … This beguiling story of female experience and family ties is well worth the three-decade wait
