This was a wonderful book on several levels. The plot which drives the book is Beatrice's search for the cause of her younger sister's death. The authorities have determined Tess comitted suicide, but Beatrice just cannot fathom her fun-loving, carefree sister capable of taking her own life.

As she investigates further, Beatrice uncovers the secrets in Tess's life and wonders if she ever really knew her. On another level, the book is told by Beatrice as if she were speaking to Tess, remembering their shared past as she tries to unravel her disappearance.

At its core, this is a book about two sisters who,in spite of the passage of time and the vast differences in their lifestyle, love each other and try to be there for each other. Right up almost to the end. I loved this book.
