I loved this book - I read it when it came out, then the author wrote another one and seemed to vanish for a long time. I notice that in the good reads blurb at the top of the page they have the name of the central character wrong - it should be Cordelia not Caroline. I think it very effectively depicts the impact of the deep trauma caused by the murder of a loved sibling. The language is lovely and the book is really well written. I am very glad to have found out that she is still writing.

I loved this book. Being an only child I really enjoy learning about how siblings live & this book expresses just how deeply a sister can love. I sobbed with her as I read & felt the loss with her. Wow! Great book.
