a story of 2 sisters growing up and writing their letters of love, sadness and pains of childhood, growing apart, surviving and the power of imagination
Sigrid is the mc for the 1st part the novel telling her side of what happened in a suicide letter narrated to her sister Margit
going over their abusive childhood and the choices they made that sent them on different paths, this was a heartbreakingly beautiful story to read but had some dark humor that DID help lighten the mood
the one thing that will keep them together is their bond for dreaming, creating and imagining a whole new world to fix theirs
perfect for any vc andrews fans!
