ARGONAUT BOOKS

In the four stories that make up 'The Dolls', characters are plagued by unexplained illnesses, oblique, human-made disasters and environmental losses. A big sister descends into the family basement. Another sister refuses her younger brother. A third sister with memory loss is on the run, seeking shelter at Notpla. A fourth set of siblings travel to Hungary with their late mother in a coffin. They each have a different version of their mother's story.
