Description

A.S. King's latest novel explores the complex relationships within a family through the eyes of Jane Vandermaker-Cook. Living in a Victorian mansion with her younger brother and father, Jane is confined to a system of pneumatic tubes by her mother, who is touring the world to support them.

When Jane gains access to a lifetime of security-camera videos, she begins to see her family's dynamics in a new light. As she navigates this newfound freedom, she starts to compose a punk opera as part of a bold plan to reconnect with her mother.

This surrealist masterpiece follows Jane's journey as she breaks out of her shell and confronts the secrets that have been hidden within her home for so long.
