Review
You have a great childhood. You and your older sister are thick as thieves and you support each other every step of the way.
It goes without saying that, when something horrible happens, she is the first person you call. She will know what to do. Older sisters know best, right? Maybe though in this case it’s not exactly true…
Nothing you can do about it, even if you want to, with all your heart. It is what it is and you share a dark secret now.
You would think something so fierce would bind you together for ever. It does not. On the contrary…
What ever went on in the past, she still entrusts you with the most precious thing after she dies: her daughter.
You realise why this happened to her. It’s all linked to the past. A past that will seek revenge in the present.
People’s reaction to events, whether they are happy ones or sad ones, can be divided in two groups.
On the one hand there are those who scream and shout and make their opinion very clear to the rest of the world. On the other hand there are those who keep silent, nobody ever really knowing what goes on in their head.
People belonging to the loud group are noticed and if someone is out for pay back, it’s those you suspect straight away. The quiet ones often easily overlooked and/or forgotten.
Maybe though being extravert is what keeps them sane? It’s what helps them to offload? Whilst the introvert ones maybe never allow themselves to move on? Who would you bet your money on, if you had to pick a suspect?
A very enjoyable read that paints the picture of what greed and grieve can make you do. 5 stars
Thank you
