A PEN/Faulkner Award finalist about two sisters divergent paths, from the author of The Burning Girl and The Emperors Children.In this highly acclaimed novel, life isnt all Emmy and Virginia Simpson anticipated. When Emmys marriage ends, she flees her home in Sydney to find herself on the island of Bali-only to become embroiled with a crew of international misfits and smugglers. Her prim and pious sister Virginia, meanwhile, has never wandered far outside of London. Struggling to find meaning, Virginia follows her aging mothers advice to vacation on the Isle of Skye. On these two islands halfway around the world, the middle-aged sisters confront the costs of self-knowledge and their destinies with unexpected consequences.
