The story centres around two elderly sisters living in a large house on the Cornwall coast. They have four siblings, three sisters and a brother. One of the sisters, who is going senile, comes to stay. She has secrets she is dying to reveal about the family. The author uses flashbacks, written in the present tense, to gradually reveal these secrets and leads the reader down a few garden paths in the process. The secret is not what you think! There is a strong sub-plot about the younger generation but it's easy to guess what's going on. I would strongly recommend this book.
