#Book #Review My Sister’s Secret by Diane Saxon
Four sisters, four secrets. Who has the deadliest of them all?
Something happened to me when I was nine.
My childhood memories before that fateful day are gone. Extinguished.
The aftermath has become a living nightmare with a guilt that runs so deep that I’m not sure I can ever tell anyone. I fear I’ve left it too late…
The burden of my secret and the hurt and pain that silence cost each and every member of my family is too overwhelming.
But you can’t avoid fate and now I have the opportunity to right the wrongs inflicted on us.
There was no justice. Not then. Not now. But I can change that.
The big question is, how far am I willing to go?
REVIEW
Diane Saxon’s book My Little Brother just about broke me, so I just knew I had to read her latest book. My Sisters Secret did not disappoint – though my only irk was I found it hard sometimes to tell who was narrating the chapter — but….. after finishing I realise it was done that way deliberately to throw you off the scent as to what sister had the secret, so kudos nicely done! Four sisters and each one is keeping a secret from the other, one is pregnant, one is a lesbian, another’s husband is having an affair and the last… we don’t really know exactly what secret they are carrying until all is revealed at the end. And it is not what you are going to expect!
Saxon has a lot of red herrings in this thrilling tale, and I honestly couldn’t put this book down. After Gary Philpotts who is a serial offender escapes jail yet again and it really effects the sisters seeing his face splashed all over the local newspapers, I love how the sisters have family meeting to go over everything, they really are a close knit family yet at the same time they all have their secrets. When things start happening to people connected to the sisters past and present you are left wondering just who is behind it all? I thought I knew I was adamant in my mind it was them, but that last chapter,,,, wow blew it out the water for me!
5 stars!!
