An astonishing debut about a teenage girl in 1970s Brazil who is torn away from her twin sister--and who must learn what it means to fight for those she loves when all the odds are stacked against her.
"I hesitate to call anything this beautiful 'magic.' It's more than that; it's a sacred healing."--Sandra Cisneros
Dolores and Mita grow up in rural Brazil, identical and inseparable. But Mita develops a mysterious illness that challenges the family. One day, Dolores wakes up to find her sister gone--sent to a hospital in their father's native London. There is no Dolores without Mita. And now Mita is gone.
When the family moves to Rio, Dolores' parents act as if Mita never existed. Lonely and grief-stricken, Dolores struggles to learn to read and write at the stodgy British School--until she meets Andrea, a headstrong, streetwise girl from the dangerous part of town. Andrea shows Dolores a new side of Rio--and how to survive it. As the dictatorship cracks down on dissenters, and people disappear, Dolores begins to wonder if her sister is dead, and her parents are lying. Determined to uncover the truth, Dolores is willing to do whatever it takes--lie, gamble and steal--to get her sister back.
Liar's Dice captures the precarious intensity of coming of age in a volatile time--when repression and silence are the fabric of everyday life--and the cost of family secrets. Heartrending and tender, Juliet Faithfull's debut novel is a testament to the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood.
