Since the time I wanted to read this book, I did 🙂
It all begins when one morning in May three little girls go to school and barely an hour later one of them has died.
Fifteen years later Kitty is living in a nursing home, withdrawn into herself. And she has no memory of what happened that day and doesn’t speak.
As for Alison, everything seems to be going well for her, she teaches art. But she is going to apply to teach in a men’s prison.
But someone is watching them and will do anything to get revenge and bring the truth out into the open.
I was immediately hooked on the story, which is so moving at times, captivating, addictive, gripping, full of suspense and twists and turns with very engaging characters. I love the author’s writing.
3.75 for this chilling psychological thriller set in England that, on its surface, seems to be about the aftermath of a road accident that leaves one sister with a permanent brain injury and the other with mere scratches and guilt that she will carry for the rest of her life.
For me, it is a psychological study of two sisters…half-sisters more specifically…who experience life in very different ways. Both the apples of their mother’s eye, having different fathers means growing up in two different worlds. One sister has been spoiled, allowed to have a vicious personality that is off putting to all those around her. The other, does what she can to love that spoiled sister and wants to cultivate a loving sisterly relationship.
This all comes to a head in 2001 when a speeding car mows down one sister (and her friend) leaving the remaining sister to carry guilt for the next 15 years until events happen that open up old wounds and force her to face the truth about the relationship she has with her sister.
I Read Blood Sisters By Jane Corry in a few short hours.
No sleep at all for me as I couldn’t put the bloody thing down.
so After an awful accident years ago left Vanessa dead, Kitty with severe brain damage living in a home and Alison Introverted and shouldering a heap load of guilt.
The whole trauma is about to be unearthed again for Kitty, Ali and their mother
Many years after the tragic circumstances that left Alison’s sister brain damaged and her best friend dead, Alison is trying to move on with her life she has shelved her university plans and is now an artist working at a local college.
Upon spotting an add for a resident artist at a nearby open prison, Alison needing the money applies and surprisingly gets the position.
But then someone starts sending Alison threatening notes saying she will pay.
What is she keeping hidden from that terrible day?
Now what I really loved about this story was the way it jumped from sister to sister while also giving us flashes into the past of the lead-up to what occurred the morning of the accident.
We are first with Alison, Then kitty then back again and even as Kitty resides in the day home with brain damage we see how surprisingly lucid some of her thoughts are, How frustrated she is with the people around her, though she can’t remember the past properly and has only flashbacks she struggles to remember more and get her thoughts across.
It gives a whole new perspective into how we interact with disabled individuals, making us think what it would be like to be treated like a child. how frustrating this must be.
Now I don’t want to give too much away with Blood Sisters, so all I’m going to say is when you think you know something do not be surprised when its turned on its head. This story takes that many turns with the truth of what happened my head was spinning but in a really good way.
Blood Sisters is an excellent easy read that will keep you guessing until the end, I highly recommend it.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a free advance reader copy of this novel. This is my own unbiased opinion of Blood Sisters by Jane Corry.
