A young woman’s relationship with her brother, always followed by his childhood brain tumour. It is a shocking and intimate insight into the thoughts, feelings and sexuality of a vulnerable and isolated protagonist. To read this one-of-a-kind book is to dive inside the narrator’s head, experience her world directly and viscerally. This isn’t always comfortable, but it is always a revelation.

“This book pushes the boundaries of the novel form… it is fragmented and intense and emotionally heavy. It’s also won many awards, and for a good reason. You need to check this out, it’s truly unique.”
