The Elephant in the Room
There's no avoiding the fallout of family secrets
The Elephant in the Room By Maya Fowler (Kwela books)
Lily has a secret that she feeds and nurtures – she's controlling her weight through a combination of anorexia and bulimia. The obsession with food and size consumes her, even into her dreams. But in a family where secrets live behind every closed door, there's no-one who can or will help her.
This disturbing, beautiful and tender debut novel, set in Cape Town and the Overberg, uses each scene to build a tense drama which can only, as it must, end in tragedy. Author Maya Fowler shows her skill at creating an intricate web of family lies and deceit that is not easily forgotten when the last page is turned.
