Summary

From acclaimed author Keith Stuart, author of A Boy Made of Blocks and The Frequency of Us, comes a daring and unique story of heartbreak and hope.

A single sentence was all it took to define Cammy's life. They came as her beloved artist aunt was dying, a teenage Cammy standing by her bedside: 'Did your mother ever tell you about the curse?'

Cammy is warned that the women in her family are destined always to lose the one they love. She thinks nothing of it - until the day when, in her late twenties, her new boyfriend is hit by a car. Convinced she is to blame, Cammy begins to investigate the one-hundred-and-fifty-year story of a family that is both ordinary and remarkable, tragic and beautiful.

But is the curse real, or is there an answer lurking in the letters, diaries and paintings of generations of women whose hearts were broken?

More Keith Stuart brilliance

I've waited an absolute age since the fabulous 'Frequency of Us' for another novel from this author. I think it's a miracle I haven't embodied Kathy Bates in Misery, locking him in a house and demanding he write.
This novel has not disappointed. A twisty, gothic masterpiece, which weaves the tales of several protagonists together. The narrative is so powerful you can almost smell this book, filled with fire and patchouli. I'm always partial to something that references Joy Division too... Couldn't put it down. The audio narration is also exceptionally good. Highly recommend this.
