Description
"Mara and Frankie are cousins and best friends, growing up in the stifling atmosphere of Swansea in the Fifties, within the tight knot of an extended family that thrives on gossip, petty feuds and innuendo." "Mara is a difficult but loved child whilst Frankie is rebellious, fired by an intense and demanding emotional hunger. The two develop a strange mutual dependence in which love, jealousy, hate and rivalry intermingle. They come of age in the heady atmosphere of the Sixties - a decade in which notions of family and kinship are being overturned in favour of 'free love', sexual experimentation and social revolution. But that dream turns sour and a bitter battle of wills results." "Years later, Mara sees a nostalgic film clip of Frankie in her youth and this serves as a springboard to her past, forcing her to confront unanswered questions about Frankie's life and death."--BOOK JACKET.
