(4) YA Sisters Phoenix and Sasha face domestic troubles in this dark drama. First, their father moves out without warning, leaving only cryptic postcards that give clues to his whereabouts. Then teenaged Phoenix's charismatic teacher woos her preoccupied mother; he moves in and begins abusing Phoenix. This slim novel, translated from the French, is light on characterization but heavy on eerily intense mood.
