Book excerpt: 'The first page of my sister's diary was a picture of Frances Farmer, facing a drawing of Ophelia. My sister's psychic accomplices were all tragic figures...' Emma Imrie was a Plath-obsessed, self-taught teenage musician dreaming of fame, from a remote village on the Isle of Wight. She found it too, briefly becoming a star of the nineties Camden music scene. But then she died in mysterious circumstances. In the aftermath of Emma's death, her younger brother, Jeff, is forced by their parents to stay at the opulent home of childhood friends on the island. During a wild summer of beach parties and music, Jeff faces up to the challenges that come with young love, youthful ambition and unresolved grief. His sister's prodigious advice from beyond the grave becomes the only weapon he has against an indifferent world. As well as the only place where the answers he craves might exist... 'An excellent summer read. Mankowski entrances you with the vivid world of 1990s Camden as he weaves an adept story full of emotion and compelling characters. He tells a tale of an unbreakable sibling bond with a fluid style and a caring voice.' Anna Caltabiano, author of The Seventh Miss Hatfield
