  Are Grace and Tamar the sisters from Hell? Grace is a moony, bookish, devious Daddy's girl and her little sister Tamar is a force of nature. Their competitive, sometimes violent relationship simultaneously explodes and strengthens the myth of sisterhood. Set in the eastern valleys of south Wales from 1970 to the present day, this collection of linking stories relates the history of Grace and Tamar, their volatile childhood, disruptive coming-of-age and dubious maturity. The book is part novel, part fantasy, part social history. More than anything it tells dark, universal tales about how utterly strange it is to learn to be human.
