Can you trust your own brain? Challenging what we know about our senses, Rapeseed features a synesthetic mom from Kansas with cross-wired colors, smells, and sounds in her letters, her numbers, and her turbulent memories. She's been quietly keeping secrets from and with her husband until his job moves the family to England and rocks their carefully constructed history. The Coopers are displaced by geography, by psychology, and by the subtle tangos of their family: teenaged indiscretions, alcohol, church-going, long-term family feuds, neuroscience, and very worrying new friends. Desperate to untangle the mixed textures of her past while her teenage son confronts a dangerous future, Carolann navigates busy London and winding country roads in search of the one thing promising resolution at home. A funny and painfully true debut novel from a bright new voice in American fiction.
