If you are looking for a book to spend a day with, try this one!
Sylvie left home as soon as she possibly could, always carrying the guilt she had over her sister’s death and never having any real closure. After Persephone (her sister) died, their mom (Annie) pretty much shut down due to her own grief. Sylvie’s Aunt Jill stepped in and took Sylvie to her home, raising her as her own with her own daughter, Missy. Fast forward … Aunt Jill calls Sylvie home to care for her mom who is sick with cancer. Sylvie didn’t want to, but she did at Aunt Jill’s insistence. To say that Sylvie and Annie’s relationship by this point was filled with turbulence would be an understatement. These women both had their own deep-seated secrets and grief they carried for many, many years.
I found this book started with a bang and really didn’t let up with a couple of “red herrings” thrown in for good measure. This book contains numerous stories between its pages. The relationship of Persephone and Sylvie. The relationship between Annie and her own sister, Jill. The relationship between Persephone and her boyfriend, Ben. Tommy Dent plays a part. The officers involved in the beginning are a part of this tale, one later becoming a detective, the other leaving the police force. The relationship between Persephone and Annie. The relationship between Sylvie and Annie. Missy (the cousin) plays a small part in the telling of this tale. Ben Emory plays a significant role in the telling of this tale. Secrets, lies, deceit, forgiveness, sickness, love, new life … all can be found within the pages of this story.
