A book I found personally difficult to really get into. Dark writing about twin sisters who try to see if there supposed mother has come back from the dead in a revised form.
The ongoing saga comes to a fast paced ending.

The twins Clara and Dempsey, who are like the moon and the sun, but two sides of the same coin in some ways: they are united in their trauma.
Daley-Ward writes magically - every sentence, every dialogue feels accounted for, but she also does not write from a style-only approach. The writing works together with the plot.
Plot? This is more of an exploration of the characters in a profound way and in-depth.
Absolutely loved it.
I will revisit parts of this book to a) enjoy the story and the prose, b) to confirm if I had understood what was happening right.
I highly recommend this to those who look for stories about mother-children, mother-daughters, siblings with different and even conflicting personalities, trauma, a magical realistic take on trauma and mental health problems coupled with amazing prose.
