EBOOK Sister Crazy
Opis
The sprawling Weiss family--as recalled by Jemima, the middle child in Emma Richlers amazing debut--live an almost idyllic existence. The feeling among the siblings is so palpable that we cannot help but share the acute nostalgia Jem experiences as she emerges from childhood. In a darkly humorous voice she tells of playing elaborate war games with toy Action Man figures, composing a survival book (Always have some sports news at hand for when your dad is in hospital after a scary operation to do with a fatal disease), closely observing her beautiful Mum to fathom her magic, weaving the story of the Grail quest into her brother Jude&'s life. Jems extravagant tales of her eccentric beloved family will linger long after the last line.From the Trade Paperback edition.
