EVERY FAMILY HAS ITS SECRETS . . .

'A beautiful, bewitching, unsettling and unputdownable dream of a book' LISA JEWELL

____________________________________________________________

LILY IS A GOOD DAUGHTER

Every evening she pours Mama a glass of perfectly spoilt orange juice. She arranges the teddy bears on Mama's quilt, she puts on her matching pink clothes. Anything to help put out the fire of Mama's rage.

MAMA IS A GOOD LIAR

But Mama is becoming unpredictable, dangerous. And as she starts to unravel, so do the memories that Lily has kept locked away for so long.She only wanted to be good, to help piece Mama back together. But as home truths creep out of the shadows, Lily must recast everything: what if her house isn't a home - but a prison? What if Mama isn't a protector - but a monster . . .

From hot new talent, Ella King, comes an unforgettable story about a family gone bad . . ._________________________________________________________________
