This is a spectacular psychological thriller!
Valerie Keogh introduces us to Ellie and Will whose lives are devastated when they find out that Ellie cannot have children. At the same time, she receives notification that the sheltered housing her twin sister lives in is closing down.
Tia goes to live with the couple but Ellie struggles from the start. She always played second fiddle to her twin whilst growing up and resented the love and attention Tia got as a result of her learning disability.
Ellie suspects that Tia is more able than she appears and is eager for her to find new accommodation. Is she right and does Tia have other ideas about the future?
There are some MAJOR plot twists that I want to share but don’t want to spoil the surprise for you!
Ellie’s emotions are laid bare in the book and it is quite heartbreaking to see her distress at being unable to become a mother whilst coping with the responsibility of caring for her sister.
This is a fascinating book to read although I was expecting the final twist at the end. Twins are captivating to us as a society. I can appreciate a little of the frustration of identity confusion: at my wedding the photographer thought my sister was me!
