Improvising Carla
See Review by
Judith Rhodes
‘Is this a modern kind of haunting? I struggle to banish the thought. Even the possibility of being haunted by Carla is a taste of madness.As the sun rises over an idyllic Greek island, Carla Finch lies dead on lonely road. Only her friend Helen is with her, and only Helen knows how Carla died. From the start their alliance was based on make-believe and lies, and now Helen is unable to break the cycle, even in the face of catastrophe.
During her time together on the island, we never talked about the details of our real lives. I knew no mundane facts about her.
No real facts at all, except for the one huge truth that is my secret. The single truth that even now, no one else has discovered and, pray God, never will. Oh, they think they know, but they couldn’t be more wrong. That certainty is mine alone.
Because I alone know how she died. That moment when her life ended and mine changed for ever’
