Susan Bliss is torn between two lives. Her husband Alcott has decided only one will be remembered.

'A magnificent debut' CLARE LESLIE HALL, author of BROKEN COUNTRY

'Intelligent and very moving' ROSIE PRICE, author of WHAT RED WAS

'A truly sublime novel' HANNAH BEER, author of I MAKE MY OWN FUN

'Delivers heartache, euphoria and the unfathomable puzzle of family with singular brilliance' SIERRA GREER, author of ANNIE BOT It's the 1990s.

Susan Bliss is trying to make it all work. Her growing stardom in L.A., where she's a regular on one of the nation's favourite daytime TV soaps. And her less lauded role in New England, where she's wife to a history professor and raising young twins. It's the 2000s.

Susan Bliss died tragically young, and Viola and Sebastian have little idea of their mother's fame.

But the past can't stay hidden forever, and as the teenaged twins pursue the secrets their mother left behind, they spin off in different directions. Sebastian plunges down an investigative rabbit hole. Viola falls for the movie star Orson Grey, who was once her mother's co-star.

Obsession, ambition, love, pain, wonder, mystery. Every family has its dramas. But what happens when someone else tells your story?
