When a middle-aged couple downsizes to the countryside for an easier life, their two daughters become isolated, argumentative and violent ... A chilling, vicious and darkly funny psychological thriller from bestselling author Helen FitzGerald. 'Sharp, shocking and savagely funny. Helen Fitzgerald is a wonderfully original storyteller' Chris Whitaker 'A new novel from Helen Fitzgerald is always a major event ... magnificent' Mark Billingham 'I devoured Keep Her Sweet ... shite parenting and a dysfunctional sister relationship goes to fatal extremes' Erin Kelly-----------------------------Desperate to enjoy their empty nest, Penny and Andeep downsize to the countryside, to forage, upcycle and fall in love again, only to be joined by their two twenty-something daughters, Asha and Camille. Living on top of each other in a tiny house, with no way to make money, tensions simmer, and as Penny and Andeep focus increasingly on themselves, the girls become isolated, argumentative and violent. When Asha injures Camille, a family therapist is called in, but she shrugs off the escalating violence between the sisters as a classic case of sibling rivalry ... and the stress of the family move. But this is not sibling rivalry. The sisters are in far too deep for that. This is a murder, just waiting to happen... Chilling, vicious and darkly funny, Keep Her Sweet is not just a tense, sinister psychological thriller, but a startling look at sister relationships and they bonds they share ... or shatter. -------------------------'A wonderful book about a toxic family ... funny, shocking and full of heart.
