The time is the present - a present that churns with the bizarre passions of its owners' past. The Swifts - three sisters of marked eccentricity, defiantly christened April, May and Baby June, and their only brother, one-eyed Jasper - have little in common, save vivid memories of darling Mummy, and a long lost youth peculiarly prone to acts of treachery.\n\nInto their world comes Cousin Leda from Vienna, a visitor from the past, blind but beguiling - a thrilling guest. But within days, the lifestyle of the Swifts has been dramatically overturned - and desires, dormant for so long, flame fierce and bright as ever.\n\nBook Description\n\nAn hilarious novel about Anglo-Irish upper-class life.\n\nAbout the Author\n\nBorn in Dublin in 1969, Emma Donoghue is an award-winning writer, living in Canada with her family.
