'I just adore this book and have probably reread it a hundred times.' Michelle Zauner
Ruth and Lucille are orphans growing up in the small desolate town of Fingerbone in the vast northwest of America.

Steeped in imagery of the bleak wintry landscape around them, the sisters' struggle towards adulthood is powerfully portrayed in a masterful modern classic exploring loss, loneliness and transience.
