Synopsis: The basis for the Australian film—a powerful novel of family ruin and redemption from &“a born storyteller&” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch). Wanted as a material witness in a drug-smuggling case, Greg Kendall is hiding out at his family&’s old Chicago home. While there, he finds himself thinking about his long dead siblings, older brother Cliff and twin sister Kate. The two died in a car crash years before, and as Greg revisits and relives the memories of his childhood, he awakens long-buried secrets from the family&’s past—including memories of his relationship with his twin that were better left undisturbed. &“A commanding writer of unusual power and delicacy.&” —The New Yorker &“A born storyteller.&” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch
