"A solemn journey through codependence, poverty, and loss. After the sudden death of their mother, we see reclusive twins struggle to adapt to the world around them, untangling dark secrets, building resentment and disappointment around every corner. Like the title, we see how unsteady the ground of relationships and quality of life is when it sits atop a foundation of lies, of buried things unwillingly unearthed. Beautiful prose filled with sorrow and revelation, will resonate strongly with anyone who has been lied to “for their own good.” "
