Sister Crazy by Emma Richler
Both comic and deeply serious. A truly dazzling debut. BERYL BAINBRIDGE‘The tone is confiding, the form original and I was charmed and impressed’ Observer
‘A charmer with a dangerous undertow’ Time Out
'There is an enticingly breathless quality to Richler's prose, and in a childlike dash, she guides us through her elegy for lost youth. Her incisive observations on the intricacies of family dynamics are by turns whimsical, intense and darkly funny.' TLS
'Stunning…Richler has written a deeply moving book. Her language is electric, her formal poise astonishing in a first novel; her observations of the world of children, of the terror of madness, riveting. And she is bold and witty and will make you laugh out loud.' Lisa Appignanesi
Emma Richler was born in London and grew up in London and Montreal. She trained as an actress in New York City and worked in the UK in theatre, film, television and on BBC Radio for ten years. She lives in North London.
