"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Full of fantastically gritty metaphors, and with strains of class and race stretching like a fragile elastic band... a book that will change your dreams if not your life. (OBSERVER)
An exquisitely realised piece of writing. (Elizabeth Buchan, MAIL ON SUNDAY)
Kaye Gibbons is the author of Charms for the Easy Life, Ellen Foster and Sights Unseen (all of which she also read for Simon & Schuster Audio), as well as A Cure for Dreams. She lives in Raleigh, North Carolina.
