Shortlisted for the 2015 James Tait Black Memorial Prize Longlisted
for the 2015 Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction Longlisted for the
2015 Jerwood Prize In the middle of a winter's night, a woman wraps
herself in a blanket, picks up a pen and starts writing to an
estranged friend. In answer to a question you asked a long time
ago, she writes, and so begins a letter that calls up a shared past
both women have preferred to forget. Without knowing if her friend,
Butterfly, is even alive or dead, she writes night after night - a
letter of friendship that turns into something more revealing and
recriminating. By turns a belated outlet of rage, an act of
self-defence, and an offering of forgiveness, the letter revisits a
betrayal that happened a decade and a half before, and dissects
what is left of a friendship caught between the forces of hatred
and love.
