Four sisters. One funeral. A childhood secret that refuses to stay buried.

Kate has a fractured personality, warped by childhood trauma and the difficult relationship she has with her mother.

Victoria is brittle, controlled and furious and will stop at nothing to disrupt Kate’s outwardly perfect life.

Lorraine is hilariously lacksidaisical, lips loosened by booze and hopelessly looking for her knight in shining armour.

Janet is coarse, blunt and loyal despite her embarrassingly honest attitude.

As old resentments surface and new cracks appear, the sisters circle one another through therapy sessions, uncomfortable realisations, darkly comic encounters and moments of unsettling intimacy.

What begins as the death of a mother becomes an unravelling of memory, identity and of the stories they’ve told themselves to survive.

Fault is a darkly funny, emotionally sharp novel about family, fractured childhoods and the secrets we protect at any cost - even from ourselves.
