關於這本電子書
A remote, crumbling house; four sisters; and the secrets that imprison them...
'Before Gillian Flynn, there was Lesley Glaister' Harper's Bazaar
'Frightening yet eerily beautiful ... Lesley Glaister is adept, original and mature' Hilary Mantel
In a remote, crumbling house in the Fens live four sisters - Agatha, Milly, and Ellen and Esther - identical twins so closely linked as to be almost one person. They have lived there all their lives, trapped still by the fear of their dead father, who governs his daughters' lives from beyond the grave. And then there is George, another inhabitant, imprisoned in the cellar.
Little by little, macabre events come to light: events that transform an idyllic country childhood into a world of eccentric isolation.
'Eerie and satisfying - a horror story told with tenderness' Sunday Times

Novelist Lesley Glaister was born in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, England. She grew up in Suffolk, moving to Sheffield with her first husband, where she took a degree with the Open University. She was 'discovered' by the novelist Hilary Mantel when she attended a course given by the Arvon Foundation in 1989. Mantel was so impressed by her writing that she recommended her to a literary agent. Lesley Glaister's first novel, Honour Thy Father, won both a Somerset Maugham Award and a Betty Trask Award. Her other novels include Trick or Treat, Limestone and Clay, for which she was awarded the Yorkshire Post Book Award (Yorkshire Author of the Year), Partial Eclipse and Now You See Me, the story of the unlikely relationship between Lamb, a former patient in a psychiatric ward, and Doggo, a fugitive on the run from the police. Her latest novel is Chosen (2010). Lesley Glaister lives with her husband between Sheffield and Orkney. She has three sons and teaches Creative Writing at Sheffield Hallam University. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. Lesley was a winner of the 2014 Jerwood Fiction Uncovered Prize for Little Egypt.
