My Sister's Bones: 'Rivals The Girl on the Train as a compulsive read' Guardian

Product Information

Their relationship is explored through the retelling of each sister’s childhood but the pair barely interact and the sibling relationship was not shown nearly as much as I thought it would be.

Heidi is such an exciting and talented filmmaker who has done a truly excellent job bringing the book to life. The underlying themes of war, PTSD, child abuse and false memories were intelligently explored and I was genuinely gripped throughout the tale.

He was a theatre producer and chairman of Everton Football Club and among his many feature producing credits are Stepping Out starring Liza Minnelli; Stephen Frears’ 2009 romantic comedy Cheri; Rufus Norris’ Cannes 2012 feature Broken; and Sarmad Masud’s 2018 UK Oscar submission My Pure Land.

My Sister’s Bones is a psychological suspense mystery with several unexpected twists that result in a completely different change of tack for the story and allow you to view the story in a completely different light. When seemingly strange things happen in the house next-door, she soon has to question what is real and what is in her mind. Nevertheless My Sister’s Bones was a fantastic read, initially it read like another Girl on the Train imitation but half way through author Nuala Ellwood completely changes direction and I loved it.the first 18 years of my life had been spent in near-darkness, terrified of what lay hidden in the corners.

Looking up, I see a pile of stones, a small shrine amid an ocean of blood, and I crawl towards it, sensing what lies beneath. the narrator and her family are jewish, and are living in a predominantly italian american neighborhood in new jersey; she has to confront ethnic stereotypes quite a lot, including her own. Is the house harbouring dark secrets or is the trauma of Kate’s wartime experiences finally catching up with her? However, I cannot stress enough that Hanauer tells this story so beautifully that you feel every emotion with the characters; what would be a mundane scene actually has you sitting on the edge of your seat with anticipation.Human story written in from the first person perspective of an adolescent girl coming of age in a family household where her older sister is struggling with anorexia. Sally only received her fathers kindness, but her bitterness and anger toward Kate and her mother consumes her, and she feels they deserve the beatings they endured.
