»My Big Sister Juli Is Dead. And Someone from Our Family Is to Blame.«


Juli is gone. The police assume murder. But her sister Anna is still here – even though she sometimes wishes she could simply vanish into thin air, just like her sister. Because then she wouldn’t have to try to be strong. For her mother, who can barely leave her bed out of grief. For her father, who is crumbling under the weight of suspicion. And for her little brother, who hopes anew every day that Juli is about to walk through the door. Anna holds on. For her family. For a bit of stability in the chaos. Until one day the police are at the door. With a truth that tears everything apart.
