About this ebook
Set between London and St Petersburg, Self Help is the absorbing story of a family - half-English, half-Russian - with many secrets and a dark, disturbed history.
Masha Glover returns home from exile, where she died suddenly and alone. Her twins, Gabriel and Isabella, must come together and confront the contorted legacy of the past in the shape of their estranged, malevolent father, Nicholas, and the pitiless stranger, Arkady Artamenkov.
Self Help is a beautifully-written novel, alive with feeling, intelligence and dark humour, and always directly engaged with the modern world.
