      A powerful and heartbreaking memoir of a childhood in South Africa, and a story of a bond between two sisters, in life and beyond death

      This is the story of Maxine and Sheila Kohler, two sisters who grew up in the suffocating gentility of 1950s South Africa. When Maxine is just shy of her fortieth birthday her husband, a brilliant and respected surgeon, drives their car off the road and kills her.
