Nina and Isabel are the closest of sisters, bound together since childhood by the devastating death of their baby brother. The two had created completely different lives for themselves Nina as a London-based freelance photographer, and Isabel as a country housewife. When Isabel gives birth to her first child, Nina arrives to help look after her, giving rise to images from a well-hidden past. The new baby is so like the brother who died in his crib twenty-five years before . . .
Interesting story of two sisters, who as children, dealt with the crib death of their baby brother. Was it really accidental crib death or was the death of the baby intentional?
The characters in the book are hard to sympathize with, but the question of who killed the baby keeps you reading.
Beautifully written novel about sisters who share a dark secret from long ago. Elegant and suspenseful. I read this book in just two sittings, and only stopped because I had to go to work!
