Description
At the end of the world, three sisters must navigate the complexities of queer love and faith. Brilliantly audacious and hauntingly good, Julia Armfield's novel explores the intricate web of relationships and secrets that bind them together.
When their estranged father dies, Isla, Irene, and Agnes are forced to confront their troubled past and the mysterious circumstances surrounding their mother's disappearance. As they work to clear their father's legacy, they begin to sense that they have been chosen for a very particular purpose, one with shattering implications for their family and their imperilled world.
With evocative prose and a chilling vision of a future capital, Armfield crafts a story that is both unsettling and unforgettable.
