Unhappy living in a run-down flat, and having no money, Clarabelle dreams of the kind of life she might have if only she owned the doll’s house. But sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for.
Eibhlís Carcione’s debut novel is a stunning, lyrical tale of loss that’s also a gripping thriller and ghost story.
