ABOUT
THE BOOK

Alice and Louise are sisters united by a distant tragedy – the house fire which killed their brother fourteen years ago. Alice teaches dirt-poor students at a state high school the government wants to close, while she pursues a tumultuous relationship with a married man. Louise, a habitual liar and recovering heroin addict, has been playing ‘the danger game’ since she was a child, and can’t stop. But when Louise decides to unravel the truth about her twin brother’s death, and seeks out the mother who abandoned them, everything changes.
