Publisher Description

From the Number One bestselling author of BEHIND HER EYES comes a beautiful, harrowing, heartbreaking story, filled with exquisite truths.

'A beautiful story, honestly told' Neil Gaiman

Tonight is a special terrible night.

A woman sits at her father's bedside, watching the clock tick away the last hours of his life. Her brothers and sisters - all broken, their bonds fragile - have been there for the past week, but now she is alone.

And that's when it always comes.

The clock ticks, the darkness beckons.

If it comes at all.

Thinking Face“I’m trying to think what I feel with this book. I honestly don’t know. The writing itself is very haunting it takes you with it while reading. The story depicts how these siblings handle their almost dead bed-ridden father. Each of them have their own difficulties and they handled it differently. It made them grew apart. Sometimes it felt so vivid but other times it felt so vague. I don’t know where to place the magical element. Is it her own imagination or real magic connected to her. The ending… I did guess the direction of the story, but I didn’t think it would end in such open way.”
