Description:
|
Of course the emotionally challenged Sally Diamond would follow her father’s instructions to the nth degree! If he said she was to put him out with the rubbish when he died, then that was exactly what she would do. In the furore that follows her compliance, Sally’s world suddenly expands … including connecting with troubling family in far-off New Zealand. Quirky, creepy and strangely moving, this strongly character-led story wrestles with the argument of nature versus nurture in its unsettling and complex storyline.
Comments from BDS Reviewers:"A real page-turner."
"Though the subject is grim, the telling is entertaining and fast-paced and quirky. You are desperate to know how all the threads connect up."
"There are some very strong characters here, with real depth to them, some of whom are quite horriffic ... but it's written well with humour."
