A gothic tale of two sisters confronting their past on a remote island.
The narrative structure shifts between four female viewpoints to examine the Volt family's legacy. Moulton uses the setting of Fowler Island to create an atmosphere of isolation and dread. The plot hinges on Henrie's reluctance to return after ten years. Her blank memory of departure adds to the mystery surrounding the missing women rumors. The quarry pond serves as a focal point for her fear. The story examines how family secrets shape individual identity. Moulton’s previous work, Tinfoil Butterfly, establishes her credibility in this genre. The book offers a layered look at sisterhood and inherited trauma.
The story is set in the summer of 1989 on Fowler Island, described as an ancestral home and wild playground. This remote location serves as the primary backdrop for the Volt sisters' coming of age and their later return. The narrative draws on themes of separation and isolation inherent to island living.
