Bone China, Or Letters Not about Love

"Bone China is an unconventional murder mystery and a witty meditation on the pain of exile, nostalgia, broken bones and lost loves. It features Mila Freeman, who learns that an old friend, an artist and human rights activist, has been found dead. The suspicious death is ruled a suicide. Mila herself has had an accident, leaving her with a broken leg. Her closest friends gather to keep her company and vow not to talk about their friend's death. But the details find their way into this unusual narrative nonetheless, via digressive folktales, etymologies, and multiple emails, all reproduced in Bone China"-- Provided by publisher.
