Guardian Bookshop Notes:

From the bestselling author of "The Lovely Bones" and the memoir "Lucky", this is a new, searing novel. It explores the ties between mothers and daughters, wives and lovers, the meaning of devotion and the line between love and hate. A challenging, moving, gripping story, written with humanity and fluidity, it focuses on Helen Knightly, who, after years of giving her life to others finally crosses a terrible boundary.

Publisher's description:

Clair Knightly and her daughter Helen are locked in a relationship so unrelenting that it has sucked the air out of both of their lives. Helen crosses a boundary she never dreamt she would even approach. But while her act is almost unconscious, it also seems like the fulfillment of a lifetime's buried desire.
