Synopsis
Mother and daughter Caroline and Erica are best of friends and worst of enemies. Set in the American mid- and south-west, their story unfolds over more than 50 years against a backdrop of sweeping social change. Feisty and argumentative, they roll with the punches, surviving car crashes, awkward family gatherings, relationship disasters―and plastic surgery. Sharply observed and darkly comic, Magnetism by Ruth Figgest notches a riveting new path through this most fundamental of family ties.
