In my family, each of us has our own way of sabotaging our memory out of self-interest. We've always manipulated the truth as though it were an exercise in style, the fullest expression of our identity. At times we at least give ourselves the benefit of the doubt regarding our acts of sabotage, keep within us a tiny gleam of the truth so we can re-establish exactly how events actually occurred, but far more often the opposite happens: we forget the initial lie or the very fact that it's a lie to begin with.
‘A funny, sharp, wonderfully readable novel in which a fresh, playful voice takes us to the heart of an obsessive, unpredictable family. This engaging book tells the story of a young writer finding her special place where the “most fragile, tender, and comical parts” of herself come dazzlingly to life in wild escapades and moments of unexpected reflection.’
