Om boken

Ruth and Lucille are orphans in the desolate lakeside town of Fingerbone: the same lake where their grandfather died in a spectacular train wreck and their mother drove off a cliff. Abandoned by a succession of relatives, the sisters find themselves in the care of Sylvie, their enigmatic aunt. Over time, the sisters grow up, and apart — until they must discover what it truly means to escape. 'A perfect novel.' — David Nicholls 'Genius.' — Anne Enright 'The rarest talent.' — Colm Tóibín 'A marvel.' — Barbara Kingsolver
