Book description
I carried the bones of this story around for quite a few years
before I finally stumbled upon its beating heart," explains the
author. "In my head was the image of a doll house, huge and not
quite right, and a woman searching desperately for something concealed
inside. But I could never work a story around it that didn't seem
twee. Doll houses, you know? "But then Emma and Holly appeared -
trapped within their own fractured, futile relationship - and
everything just, well, fell together. Beautifully. Awfully. And
now I have a doll house story. Of a kind.
