Ever since Tom can remember he and Cass have shared things: secret things. It started with the ice-house, the mysterious overgrown igloo where they spent all their free time. There, in the damp bricky pit once used to store game, they discussed Jamieson - the horrifying shambling man employed by their father to kill pests - and the List: a list of all the terrible things they's been called by the grown-ups. What start as games - following Jamieson and springing his traps, washing away poison and generally foiling his plans - become overwhelming passions. And when Cass grows away from Tom he finds his life bewilderingly unbearable. Tom and Cass are no longer secure in their own secret world - their actions affect the lives of others who are drawn towards them: Halloran, the artist, Lisa, Jamieson's waif-like daughter and in a terrifying crescendo, Jamieson himself. Anne Fine's story, seen through the eyes of Tom, is a powerful picture of adoloescent life - the relationship between twins, their growing sexual awareness and their lives developing in different directions - set against the evocative background of the English countryside.' 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
