Anyone else still reeling from the season finale of Bad Sisters? If you need something to fill the void, try Sally Hepworth’s The Good Sister.
Fern, a librarian, is our protagonist and narrator.
When her sister Rose finds out she can’t have a baby, Fern decides to remedy
the situation. She does this, in part, because of the guilt she still carries -
but doesn’t quite understand - from a
tragic event from their childhood. When Rose’s overbearing personality grates
on her, she has this to say:
“Still, the illogical irritation is there. But
illogical irritation is something one is allowed to have with one’s sister. I
have read enough books about sisters to know that is true.”
But in this particular book, revealing what’s true
makes for a stunning plot twist.
