Talking to the Dead is bestselling author Helen Dunmore's fourth
novel. There's nothing closer than sisters . . . Unloved by their
distant mother, Isabel and Nina cemented their bond in childhood
when tragedy struck the family. Many yeas later, with the difficult
birth of Isabel's first child, it is Nina who comes to stay and
help out her older sister. But Nina has other, important reasons
for being under her sister's roof - not least of these is Isabel's
husband, Richard. The tragedy that drew two sisters together so
many years ago still has the power to wrench them apart . . . 'A
writer of quiet deadly power . . . it takes two paragraphs to hook
you. Don't resist' Time Out 'Dunmore's capacity for hauntingly
psychological storytelling is on brilliant display' Sunday Times
'Flies off the page, startling the reader with its brilliance'
