From the Back Cover:
Orange Prize shortlisted author of The Short History of a Prince and A Map of the World Jane Hamilton is the chronicler of family relationships; the cartographer of the human heart Observer To Mac, despite her mature body, his tall sister Madeline never looked any different to other children. Until one summer evening when his cousin Buddy taunted him with the odd truth of their family: Madeline was not really Mac s sister, but his father s first wife. A terrible accident had left her brain-damaged, with the intellect of a seven-year-old. When his father remarried, she became part of his new family, devotedly cared for by his second wife like one of their own. It is the impact of Madeline s tragedy on the family for several decades, and how it shapes and alters forever the boundaries of love, that drives this moving story told with Jane Hamilton s irresistible humour and keen insight. A vital and absorbing human drama…her most distinguished work so far Washington Post Hamilton affirms her status as one of our most magnetic and provocative novelists Chicago Tribune
