The Sister

The Sister by Poppy Adams.

Review:

Ginny is a woman living alone in her family mansion that she inherited when her mother died and her father moved out. Her sister Vivien couldn't wait to leave home. Ginny became a lepidopterist (a person who studies moths) just like her father, Clive. Her mother, Maud, spent her last years as a secret alcoholic. Ginny's quiet world is about to come undone when Vivien comes home to keep her company. This visit forces Ginny to remember her family's dramatic past and discover a few secrets herself. Something about Ginny is peculiar from the start. As the novel continues Ginny's mind unwinds and we see her true nature.
