Why read it?

This is a novel that pulls no punches. It’s just a gut-wrenching, sad-as-hell story about two sisters, young love, and the terrible consequences when that love curdles into murder. 

Told from four different female points of view, this is also a continuing display of Stewart’s uncanny, chameleonic ability to meld into his characters and let us see how, through their blindered eyes, everyone is doing what they think is right, even if it’s so obviously wrong. The last page of this book is almost too tragic to bear.
