Description:
I search for the last incoming call and store the number under one word, 'sister'. I should have used her name but it is all I can think of. Sister. My sister just called me and I spoke to her. I imagine the words as if they were written in a book- twenty-three years later my sister called. Bec Reich is recovering from surgery when Emily phones, so naturally Bec thinks she is hallucinating. Emily, famous worldwide for her paintings and also for her madness, lives in Beijing - but that's not why they haven't spoken for so long. Now she wants Bec to come and see her. Which would mean revisiting the sinister games and shared delusions, the terrible damage of their strange, locked-in childhood. For Bec, fascinated and repelled by her impossible sister, it may be worth the risk. Maybe. 'Kneen has a rare gift for constructing the most exquisite architectures of narrative and meaning from simple and elegant prose.' John Birmingham
