"A joyously grim, open-eyed, adult fairy tale with the messiest of morals" — PAUL TREMBLAY
"An insidious and masterfully cast spell of a book… Gorgeous and dreadful, I devoured it" — MONA AWAD
Their childhood was yours. They want it back…
Guinevere's late mother, Edith Sharpe, needs little introduction. Bestselling author of the unendingly successful Ninth City series, her books brought immense joy and inspired the imagination of countless children around the world.
Guin's childhood with her mother, brother Ennis, and actor father was a blissful, bohemian affair — filled with constant laughter and surrounded by artistic types in their Vermont barnhouse. At least, this is the story Guin presents as she prepares for the press tour of her upcoming memoir about life in the Sharpe family.
Now estranged from her brother and with both parents long dead after a devastating fire, Guin finds strange events threatening the veneer of serenity and familial harmony she is eager to project.
Ennis, now a notorious artist with a troubled past, announces a new installation — his first since a disastrous exhibition one year earlier — simply titled Mother. Guin cannot help but fear that the truth behind their idyllic childhood is about to tear her world apart.
Told through alternating narratives between 1990s Vermont and present-day New York, The Children is a twisting story of family secrets and long-held resentments, asking whether we can ever truly exorcise the ghosts of a childhood sacrificed in favour of a parent's artistic vision.
"A poison apple of a book: glossy, sweet, and absolutely terrifying" — ALIX E. HARROW
"Twisty and strange in all the best ways" — HEATHER FAWCETT
