The Sister
The Sister | Poppy Adams
8 posts | 12 read | 5 to read
Born into a long line of distinguished lepidopterists, scientists who study moths and butterflies, Ginny and Vivien grew up in a sprawling Victorian home. Forty-seven years later, Ginny lives there alone, tending to her moths and obsessions amid the ghosts of her past. But when her sister Vivien returns to the crumbling family mansion, dark, unspoken secrets rise, disrupting Ginny's ordered life and threatening the family's fragile peace. Told in Ginny's unforgettable voice, this debut novel tells a disquieting story of two sisters and the ties that bindsometimes a little too tightly. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Was young when I read this and was totally weirded out by the sisters.

Hour 36: Show us the first book on your shelves, and the last book on your shelves. #36HourChallenge #24in48 #Readathon
Past few months reorganised the shelves into total alphabetical order for ease! The Behaviour Of Moths is my first book, and Slow Boats Home my last. Not read either author and books picked up in charity shops. Anyone read them?

TrishB Nope! Not read either. I can‘t actually put books on the shelves until I‘ve read them....my tbr piles are spread round the house with the majority being in a shoe cupboard (minus shoes!). 7y
Bambolina_81 I loved The Behaviour of Moths, quite dark if I remember rightly. I hope you enjoy it! 7y
Andrew65 @Bambolina_81 Thanks for that information. 😊 7y
Andrew65 @TrishB That was our situation, piles all over the place until we reorganised and increased shelf space in the last few months of the year. 7y
CaitlinR Don‘t know either, thanks for the ideas. 7y

I wouldn't put Adams up against Austen for writing quality, but these are two #bookswithsisters that I enjoyed for different reasons. #booksacrossoceans @pri_bibliophile @mellisarock

Decent read. Anticlimactic ending.
