A Sister in My House
A Sister in My House: A Novel | Linda Olsson
4 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
From the acclaimed author of Astrid & Veronika, a lyrical novel of two sisters bound together by a tragic moment from their past. Maria and Emma have not seen each other since their mother’s funeral two years ago. But now, Emma has come to visit Maria at her house in Spain, an unsettling intrusion on Maria’s quiet and solitary life. Over six days in the seaside town, the sisters cautiously recount the years of their separate adult lives. Their walks through the quiet town and evening talks on the terrace reveal almost more than Maria can deal with, until finally, the sisters confront their unspeakable family history. A Sister in My House is a compelling drama of grief and betrayal, but ultimately it is a story of hope and forgiveness.

I liked Astrid and Veronica, but this one? If I‘d had another audiobook with me on my long drive today I would have bailed. I got home with 46 minutes left and I don‘t care enough to finish. Ridiculous behavior from both main characters, predictable reveals, trite “philosophy “ and too many issues to be believed. It felt like the author was writing for her own therapy.

Beautifully written- explores a sisterly relationship and the dangers of a shared painful past.

This book was ok, I‘m not sure if I just didn‘t like the characters or what. The setting was wonderful, it revolved around a coastal village in Spain. It was well written, the only thing that kept me from bailing on this novel is because I wanted to find out what the deal was between these two half sisters.
