As Jane's mother tours the world to support the family, Jane lives and goes to school in a Victorian mansion with her younger brother and their mendacious father who confines Janeís mother to a system of pneumatic tubes whenever sheís at home. And then there's weirdly ever-present Aunt Finch, Milorad the gardener, and his rat, Brutus. For Jane, this all seems normal until she suddenly gains access to the files for a lifetime of security-camera videosóher lifetime. A.S. King's latest surrealist masterpiece follows Janeís bizarre and brilliant journey to reconnect with her mother by breaking out of her shell and composing a punk opera.
