Items related to The Danger Game
A dangerous childhood game leads to catastrophe and two sisters' quest for the truth 14 years later, in this exquisitely written portrayal of a disintegrating family"Sometimes the only way to manage the daily percolating drip of fear, the corrosive dread of debt and humiliation, is to embrace another sort of terror, to put oneself in danger." Alice and Louise are sisters united by a distant tragedy the house fire their brother lit and burned to death in 14 years ago. Alice teaches dirt-poor students at a state high school that the government wants to close and pursues a relationship with a married man. Louise, a habitual liar and recovering heroin addict, has been playing "the danger game" since she was a child, and she can’t stop. But as they reunite in Melbourne to unravel the truth about their twin brother's death, and seek out the mother who abandoned them as children, everything changes.
