Hephzibah
You've no idea what it's like having a freak for a sister.
Rebecca
Born first, prettier, Hephzi's always been the more popular one.
The Father
When he was busy with his bottle we were usually safe. Usually.
The Mother
Her specialist subject was misery and lessons of painful silence . . .
Hephzibah and Rebecca are twins.
One beautiful, one disfigured.
Trapped with their loveless parents, they dream of a normal life.But when one twin tragically dies, the other must find a way to escape. Because if she doesn't, she'll end up like her sister .
Louisa Reid is 35 years old, married with two young daughters and currently teaches English in a girls' school in Cambridge. She is originally from Cheshire, studied English at Oxford and has lived in London and Zurich. Her pupils are definitely not the inspiration for her characters in her novels but witnessing their passion for great fiction inspired her to write for young adults.
