They defy her attempts to remove them, instead proliferating, growing longer. The hairs, Marianne's doctor tells her, are a reaction to trauma, developed in the wake of the loss of her sister, Marie. Her doctor recommends that Marianne visits Nede, a modern, New Age rehabilitation center in a remote forest in Wales where the patients attend unorthodox therapy sessions and commune with nature. Yet something strange is happening to Marianne and the other patients at Nede: a metamorphosis of a kind. As the hairs on her back continue to grow, the past starts to entangle itself with the present and the borders of her consciousness threaten to disintegrate. She finds herself drawn back compulsively to the memory of Marie, obsessing over the impulse that drew her sister toward death and splintered her family apart. As Marianne's memories threaten to overwhelm her, Nede offers her release from this cycle of memory and pain-but only at a terrible price: that of identity itself."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sisters $x Death $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Grief $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Loss (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Psychic trauma $x Alternative treatment $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Change (Psychology) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Britain $v Fiction. 941 $a 3 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230613010228.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220802011300.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220610010101.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9FCDBE2AE88211ECA877144335ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
