Sister: The phenomenal Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller

Product Information

Tess also saw a psychiatrist, who changed her diagnosis from depression to post-natal psychosis upon her death.

Bee may have known a healthy Tess, but someone in the grips of depression no longer has a strong sense of self. In the most secure place, the theatre, the drama teacher, Daphne, has locked her students presiding over the dress rehearsals of Macbeth as she struggles for a degree of normalcy.Sister follows snobby, racist Beatrice as she investigates the disappearance and possible murder of her free-spirited sister. Sister is an extremely easy and captivating read - I particularly enjoyed the ethical debates concerning medicine - and I'm not surprised that it was on the UK bestsellers list for so long. The book has well-built characters, especially the ones of the sisters, and an interesting setting, i.

I would put this on the same shelf as the better of the two Sophie Hannah mysteries I read last year, A Room Swept White (and I think readers who loved Sister would probably enjoy that book too). The story shifts between present and past narrative as we slowly find out about both of her lives, and whether Beatrice really knew her sister at all. The story is told from Beatrice’s point of view as she looks at everyone in Tess’s life with suspicion.

The story is told from the perspective of Beatrice, and is, in a way, written as one big letter to her missing sister. Poignant and thrilling, this clever debut explores the fascinating bond between sisters, and haunts you with the power of their love. Despite the manipulative end twist, other parts in the plot felt predictable, which slowed the action down quite a bit in sections. The art of the book comes from how it draws you in from the fundamental perspective of the bonds between sisters.

So, to the girl in the hair salon, even if you don’t know it – Cheers love for a fab recommendation!She wasn't trying to be likeable, she would just do anything to find out what happened to her sister. As the vicar said 'in sure and certain hope of the resurrection of eternal life' you turned to me, 'I don't want sure and certain hope I want sure and certain Bee.
