200os: Missouri is not where journalist Camille Preaker ever wanted to go back to
Sharp Objects
What you need to know before your trail
When two girls are abducted and killed in Missouri, journalist Camille Preaker is sent back to her home town to report on the crimes. Long-haunted by a childhood tragedy and estranged from her mother for years, Camille suddenly finds herself installed once again in her family’s mansion, reacquainting herself with her distant mother and the half-sister she barely knows – a precocious 13-year-old who holds a disquieting grip on the town.
As Camille works to uncover the truth about these violent crimes, she finds herself identifying with the young victims – a bit too strongly. Clues keep leading to dead ends, forcing Camille to unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past to get at the story. Dogged by her own demons, Camille will have to confront what happened to her years before if she wants to survive this homecoming.
Travel Guide
Wind Gap, Missouri
The small, cold and unfriendly town where Camille Returns to in order to find answers. But this place was once her home too.., so mixed memories and mixed feelings. Just as well Wind Gap is fictional. It’s NOT the place you’d want to go.
“A town so suffocating and small, you tripped over people you hated every day. People who knew things about you. It’s the kind of place that leaves a mark.”
“How do you keep safe when your whole day is as wide and empty as the sky?”
