![]() ![]() fresh diction and madcap plot bend the tone toward comedy, but it never mislays its solemn raison d'etre. 'A novel so readably juicy and surreptitiously smart, it deserves all the attention it can get. Publisher: Profile Books Ltd ISBN: 9781788167109 Number of pages: 336 Weight: 260 g Dimensions: 196 x 126 x 28 mm Edition: Main MEDIA REVIEWS One of the few studies Rosemary doesn't quote says that spoilers actually enhance reading. ![]() We hope you enjoy it, and if, when you're telling a friend about it, you do decide to spill the beans about Fern - it's pretty hard to resist - don't worry. It's funny, clever, intimate, honest, analytical and swirling with ideas that will come back to bite you. So now she's telling her story: full of hilarious asides and brilliantly spiky lines, it's a looping narrative that begins towards the end, and then goes back to the beginning. And it was this decision, made by her parents, to give Rosemary a sister like no other, that began all of Rosemary's trouble. There's something unique about Rosemary's sister, Fern. Both are now gone - vanished from her life. Rosemary is now an only child, but she used to have a sister the same age as her, and an older brother. So we're not going to tell you too much either: you'll have to find out for yourselves, round about page 77, what it is that makes her unhappy family unlike any other. Rosemary's young, just at college, and she's decided not to tell anyone a thing about her family.

These three dangerous brothers will do anything to make sure I keep my mouth shut about what I saw, even if it means stalking my every movement. They don’t… but they don’t forget about me, either. ![]() When they drag me from the blood-soaked bed, I’m certain they’re going to kill me too. On the night I’m meant to give my body to a brutal Russian mobster, three men storm into the room like dark shadows and kill him before he can claim me. So when I end up desperate for money and out of options, I agree to sell the one thing I have left: my innocence. My parents are dead, my adoptive mother is a drug addict, and the mean girls on campus mock me for my scars. ![]() ![]() The film was captured by DOP Daniel Katz.
