In the middle of the night, a woman wraps herself in a blanket and starts writing. In answer to a question you asked a long time ago, she writes, and so begins a letter that both women have preferred to forget. She writes night after night - a letter of friendship, by turns a belated outlet of rage and forgiveness, the letter dissects what is left of a friendship caught between the forces of hatred and love.

Critic reviews

"A glorious, sensuous, grown-up novel, intelligent and passionate" (Tessa Hadley)

Most relevant

By the end I felt like the characters were old friends I could no longer reach. Loved the way both the characters and the story emerged as the tale was told.

A captivating tale beautifully read.

i hated this, wish i hadnt bothered but kept hoping it would get better. it WAS nicely and descriptively written and beautifully read but the lack of story and jumping back and forth timeline drove me mad

a meaningless monologue that led nowhere
