Summary
EVERY FAMILY HAS ITS SECRETS . . .
Seventeen-year-old Lily has a loving, normal family. So why does it suddenly feel like secrets are stirring? Like Mama is about to crack?
As a storm of memories builds over one stifling summer, Lily must recast everything. What if her house isn’t a home – but a prison? What if her mother isn’t a protector – but a monster . . .
Bold, beautifully told, and bound to keep you turning this pages, this is an unforgettable story about a family gone bad . . .
Critic reviews
"A compelling debut that fizzes with tension from start to finish... Masterful in its evocation of the complexity of mother-daughter relationships, this is a darkly fascinating, tightly plotted narrative from a writer to watch." (Harper’s Bazaar)
"A beautiful collision of mothers and daughters, human darkness and human kindness, truth and lies." (Sarah May)
"Unforgettable." (RED)

Mesmerising
Think this book will stay with me for a long time. Hauntingly written and beautifully narrated this is a frightening story of a damaged family where lies and truth are intertwined.

Ok - bit disappointing
Started well - original voice, atmospheric and evocative. Story lagged and didn’t live up to its initial promise.

Outstanding
Great story, dark, compelling, original and unsettling. The characters are really well drawn with the exception of the father…he is the one character that does not ring true and whose motives and actions remain unconvincing. Everyone else though….this is a real tour de force.

Not bad, not brilliant
An average book. Decent listen, neither awful nor brilliant. Just somewhere in between. Best picked up if you want something to listen to while getting things done, as not gripping enough to demand your total attention but good enough that you can have it on it the background
