About this ebook

Mother and daughter Caroline and Erica are best of friends and worst of enemies.
Set in the American mid- and south-west, their story unfolds over more than 50 years against a backdrop of sweeping social change. Feisty and argumentative, they roll with the punches, surviving car crashes, awkward family gatherings, relationship disasters—and plastic surgery.
Sharply observed and darkly comic, Magnetism notches a riveting new path through this most fundamental of family ties.
