In both cases the narrator is on a mission to solve crimes involving
relatives. Afterwards is a mother and daughter investigating a fire in out
of body experiences and Sister is written from a very strange position but
you don't know about that until just before the end.

Anyone care to outline what kind of fiction she writes? I must confess to
be still struggling rather with Geraldine Brooks. Part of it is language. I
don't believe any cook in the 17th century would ever have said, :I now the
heft of every knife in this kitchen". It's a bit like those female American
writers of historical fiction who think they create the language of the 15th
century by inserting the word "Do" before every active verb.

things at the end as Steve says. I think it's much more up your street
though.
