Book Of Tricks
by Emma Cooke

ISBN: 9781904893011
"From the very beginning I expected my mother to climb back down from wherever she'd hidden herself..."
So Fran, youngest daughter of Henry and Jane Cleeve, starts to record a tale of disappearences and intrigue that begin with her mother's suicide. The counterpart to Fran's narrative is her father Henry's version of the same series of disappearances and intrigue that eventually bring his world tumbling around his ears.
Weaving in and out of the two narrations are Fran's brothers and sisters, her best friend Beth - daughter of double-dealing Nat Page -, Fran's fanatical Aunt Theo and Henry's ladyfriend Myrna.
Although both narrators - the young girl and the middle aged man - yearn for happiness, destructive forces are at work and Jane's suicide casts an inescapable shadow that forces both their destinies along treacherous paths.
In A Book of Tricks, the stunning new novel from the author of A Single Sensation,Eve's Apple and Wedlocked Emma Cooke explodes the armoury of illusion and self-delusion and the subconcious conjuring of reasoning we all employ to protect ourselves from pain.
