Funny, moving, dark,
By A Customer
This review is from: My Sister, Victoria (Paperback)
Funny, moving, truthful surprising story of rivalry and friendship between adopted sisters. Always has a new surprise. Humane, but with a dark undercurrent. Look out for the descriptions of the heroine's French exchange's family.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An exceptional novel....highly recommended,
By Laurence E Molke (Sant Just Desvern (Barcelona), Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Sister, Victoria (Paperback)
The power of this novel creeps up on you as the story of two cousins, brought up together as the result of a tragic accident, progresses from childhood through the teenage years and into adulthood. The relationship between steadfast, loyal Ruthie and the beautiful but disturbed Victoria is grippingly portrayed against a very satisfying backdrop of characters and places.This is a wonderful, highly readable novel with a powerful storyline perceptively written- highly recommended!
5.0 out of 5 stars
A precise and perceptive evocation of emotional betrayal,
By nicky.matthews@btinternet.com (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Sister, Victoria (Paperback)
This is a haunting account of the adoration of Ruth for her cousin/adopted sister Victoria, a mysterious, damaged, chameleon personality who was never quite what she seemed. The incidental details of life are brilliantly observed and the complex characters,well drawn. I found it utterly compelling.
