''A slippery, excellent exploration of sexual politics, creative appropriation, and family dynamics . . . It lands its ending with all the force of a sharp knife hurled at a bullseye'' VANITY FAIR
Sicily, 2010. Sophia, on the cusp of adulthood, spends a long hot summer with her father, a successful author. Over the course of that holiday, their relationship will fracture.
London, 2020. Sophia''s father, now 61, sits in a large theatre, surrounded by strangers, watching his daughter''s first play. A play that takes that Sicilian holiday as its subject and will force him to watch his purported crimes re-enacted. Set over the course of one climactic day, this is the story of a father and a daughter, of all that divides and binds them.
''Wickedly funny. A perfect novel'' SARAH BERNSTEIN
''Brilliant . . . With a precision of language that ought to make Hamya''s contemporaries quake and a tenderness you don''t see coming'' ATLANTIC
