Publisher's Synopsis
It's the summer of 1989 and Beatrice and Henrietta Volt are coming of age on remote Fowler Island, their ancestral home and wild playground. Thicker than thieves, the sisters plot their futures, having no idea that their parents are separating. Or that the plan is to separate them. Ten years pass before Henrie gets a desperate call from her sister - their father has died suddenly and B.B. needs her to come back to the island for the funeral. But Henrie doesn't want to go back. She's barely put the island and all those rumours about missing women behind her. And isn't it odd that she remembers nothing at all about the night she left? And why is she suddenly filled with fear about the quarry pond behind the house? Told from the perspectives of four flawed, fascinating women, 'The Insatiable Volt Sisters' is a fable about monsters real and imagined.
