Helpful Score: 1

This was an okay read - two sisters are reunited when one comes back to the ancestral family home where the other has been living alone for nearly fifty years. A lot of time is spent studying moths in this book, and while it's interesting (and I actually did learn some interesting facts about moths and caterpillars), I felt there was too much of that and not enough story.

The story is told from the point of view of the elder of the two, and little by little the tale of their past comes together, involving their relationship, family secrets and the death of their mother. It gets interesting, but I think comes up a bit short, aside from a quick jolt of suspense at the end.
