'Sororicidal didn't so much move me as arrest me. It stopped me in my tracks. A far more powerful thing.' - Angela O'Keeffe
Sisterhood is a mirror.
It can also be a weapon.
In the vineyards above Edwardian Adelaide, Mary dazzles while Margot trails in her shadow. But Mary's malice will soon find its match in Margot's icy resentment.
As the century turns convulsively modern, their childhood games mutate into a war of attrition. From polite cruelty to absolute devastation, Sororicidal is a punk-gothic history of two sisters who become the executioners of one another's dreams. It is a novel about the necessary and unendurable entanglements of family; the thin, volatile line between care and spite; and how love is flame that both feeds and consumes.
Praise for Sororicidal
'Caustic, clever and clear-eyed - a portrait of sibling rivalry that dares to keep score. This is the novel that proves exactly what Edwina Preston can do.' - Beejay Silcox
'Such a brilliant, funny, rich novel; Sororicidal held me in its grip from the first page to the last.' - Sofie Laguna
'A story of repression and love, cruelty and beauty, written with a playful, elegant intelligence.' - Holly Throsby
