Surely you can trust your own family - can't you?
Why are family secrets at the heart of so much fiction? Perhaps it's because we all like to feel that in a world filled with uncertainties and mistrust, our family is the one thing that remains steadfast and true.
First impressions suggest this novel may well be a rather unsettling read, because it's based on the idea that, contrary to what we might fool ourselves into thinking, the darkest secrets and the most terrifying shadows may lie right there - in the midst of family life.
In many ways, our own sense of self is inextricably linked to where we started out - our family. Shake our certainty in the family, then, and where does that leave our faith in who we are?
Unsettling though this book promises to be - I can't wait to read on!
