Blighted by the death of their mother since their teens, Frances and Cynthia have always interpreted the circumstances surrounding her death very differently. Both have their own t heories about what happened on the night she died and who is really to blame. But as they struggle through a holiday weekend they would really rather not share, the warning issued by Cynthia's friend Carita, that 'Families are toxic, and blood is bloody', proves prophetically true. Gripping, dark, moving, and funny, this is a steely, brilliant look at family life told through the voice of a narrator who perhaps is not quite what she seems...
