About this eBook
A psychologically suspenseful novel of three generations of sisters: "An edgy story . . .Joel has a wicked sense of humor." — The Age (Australia).
In a novel that ranges through the decades of the twentieth century, we meet sisters Jennifer and Charlotte, who share both a dark sense of humor and a dark secret; their mother and aunt, who grew up during World War II and endured the bombing of London; and the generation before them—Bertha and Jemima—whose lives took a dramatic and deadly turn during England's ill-fated general strike of 1926.
As the lies, betrayals, and hidden mysteries of the past unspool, we come to know these three sets of siblings—and how both family history and world history shaped their lives—in a riveting saga from the award-winning author of The Second-Last Woman in England.
