"How well do you really know the person you married? That’s the question at the heart of Roshani Chokshi’s unsettlingly gorgeous adult fantasy. In the book, a man is forced to face uncomfortable truths about his mysterious wife, Indigo, on a trip to her childhood home. Indigo has always held the secrets of her past between tight fists and closed lips – especially regarding her childhood friend Azure, who disappeared years ago. But the past has a way of coming loose – no matter how hard you try to keep it hidden underneath the floorboards.
This book is for anyone who loves dark fairy tales and is obsessed with the monstrous nature of teenage girlhood."
