Publisher's Synopsis
Claire believes she was manipulated, when she was 16, into helping her mum commit suicide. Now in her late 20s, she negotiates a complex reality. She uses her dead mother's letters as a kind of oracle, her father's dictionary to help her make sense of things - and goes on a shoplifting spree when things become unbearable. So far, she has managed to get by on her own. But now Claire needs someone. And she wants that person to be you. And in a breathtaking change of perspective, you step into her life. Bursting with ideas and life, seamed with beautifully crafted language and startling imagery, this book offers a vivid and sensual reading experience.
