I was going to read just a page or two to see if I REALLY wanted to read this book...and couldn't put it down. Unusual story, original characters and I love anything placed in England. Great read.

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!

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.
