Before I go into my grave, she says out loud, I will kill that man. A brilliant new novel from the author of Real Differences. A family favour their son over their daughter. Shan attends university before making his fortune in Australia while Yannie must find menial employment and care for her ageing parents.
After her mothers death, Yannie travels to Sydney to become enmeshed in her psychopathic brothers new life, which she seeks to undermine from within This is a novel that rages against capitalism, hetero-supremacy, mothers, fathers, families the whole damn thing. Its about what happens when you want to make art but are born in the wrong time and place. S. L. Lim brings to vivid life the frustrations of a talented daughter and vengeful sister in a nuanced and riveting novel that ends in the most unexpected way. It will not be easily forgotten.
