About this listen

Rosemary doesn't talk much and about certain things she's silent. She had a sister, Fern, her whirlwind other half, who vanished from her life in circumstances she wishes she could forget. And it's been 10 years since she last saw her beloved older brother, Lowell.

Now at college, Rosemary starts to see she can't go forward without going back to the time when aged five, she was sent away from home to her grandparents and returned to find Fern gone.

It was Rosemary's parents who began all of the trouble - isn't it always? But, dear listener, exactly how they did it is a twist you'll have to discover for yourself.

Critic reviews

"Readably juicy and surreptitiously smart." (Barbara Kingsolver)

"Wise, provocative and wildly endearing." (Guardian)

I wasn’t sold on this book due to the robotic sounding narrator. A friend of mine told me to go as far as the “plot twist” before giving up and I’m glad I did. After the twist I was thoroughly intrigued and very sad when it ended.

Robotic voice, great story
