Saskia sarginson biography definition

I spent my childhood in a cottage in the middle of a Suffolk pine forest, where my two younger siblings and I had the freedom to roam the forest alone.

This is a small book that delivers a huge emotional punch.

When I was little I wanted to be a zoologist.

When I was little I wanted to be a zoologist..

Isolte and Viola are twins. Inseparable as children, they’ve grown into very different adults: Isolte, a successful features writer for a fashion magazine with a photographer boyfriend and a flat in Bloomsbury, and Viola, an anorexic engaged in a protracted suicide.
What juncture forced them apart?

As both women start to unravel the escalating tragedies of a half-remembered summer (one from her desk in the city, the other from her bed in a psychiatric ward), will the struggle to come to terms with the past be liberating, or will each twin be crushed under its weight?
