Explores cycles of family trauma and both the dangerous and recuperative powers of fantasy. Alexandra Teague attempts to understand and contextualize her ‘feral Victorian’ family in terms of trauma and mental health, but also with deep love and humour.

Trade Review
“Is Alexandra Teague the child of psychics who can see in the world the possibility of life after death, of spells, of spirits, of foreknowledge? Or is she collateral damage of people too concerned with their own magical thinking to keep her best interests at heart? The book is at its most gripping at the knife-edge of these questions, when Teague fights to become her own self, author of her own story, able to poke tender fun at the many different versions of herself.” —Cris Harris, author of I Have Not Loved You With My Whole Heart
