Telling the story of Laela, a young girl haunted by dreams of a sinister skeletal tree, this richly rewarding novel explores the complex motivations of family and the responsibility that comes with growing up. Alongside the dark and gripping narrative, Twisted Roots also weaves important messages about disability and mental health.
