""A young woman called Sophie is being held prisoner by her younger brother, Matthew, in their childhood home. As children, Sophie and Matthew were inseparable. Brilliant Sophie cared for Matthew and protected him from their distant and cruel mother, but now, Matthew is distraught and dangerous. He desperately seeks answers to the questions raised by the traumas of their childhood". Voice Youth Advocates. "The reader will be tempted to start the book over again to see just how Burt wrought this ingenious tale."

"Twenty years after dark secrets had ended their idyllic childhood, Mattie and Sophie reunite in their old house to play a game designed to force to the surface the memories and traumatic events that destroyed their happiness. Sophie combines the creepy narrative power of a young William Golding with the disturbingly accurate memory of what it is like to be a child, so good that one can only wonder what Burt will do next. In a dark room of a dilapidated house, as a storm rages outside, Matthew lights a candle and places it in the center of the floor. Its light spreads across the wall and illuminates Sophie, tied up in a chair facing him. She is frightened, fearful of what he might do next. But for now, it seems, all Matthew wants to do is talk. Talk about the events of nearly twenty years ago, about their strange childhood, and about the summer when Sophie grew up and everything changed forever. Young Mattie and Sophie lived in a world seemingly without constraints. Their cold mother barely paid attention to her children. Their father, a mere shadow in their lives, was never home. So Mattie and Sophie had the run of the gardens and the woods beyond. They played youthful games, but Sophie was extraordinarily intelligent, a fact she took great pains to hide from her teachers, so as not to stand out. Sophie was everything to Mattie, and he worshiped her. He wanted to know her secrets, the things that went on inside her brilliant mind. But Sophie was changing. And the summer before she went away to boarding school, the things she had worked so hard to conceal would come spilling out, and Mattie would have to live with the shocking consequences. Now he's all grown up, too, and Matthew wants answers to the questions that still darken his mind, no matter what the it cost."@en
