Her Sister's Lie by Debbie Howells is a psychological thriller which will draw you into the secrets of a very dysfunctional family. The truth of Nina and Hannah is actually revealed through third person letters as you read the book. If the reader accepts the story as it is written, the reader will understand the two sisters who were abused and neglected as children, in turn, as they grow up they make some of the same mistakes as their parents. It is always the children who suffer when a parent is an alcoholic or drug user, no matter the generation. Nina and Hannah think they are making better choices for their lives and the lives of the children in their care, but do either of them know how to love a child? In the sisters struggle to survive a horrible childhood it seems they became more self-centered. Self-survival is their nature. In the book, justice is manipulated, but in the eyes of the children, it is finally achieved. The ending is brilliant and I felt it was the redeeming focus of this story.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.
