Una desgarradora historia sobre la familia, secretos guardados bajo llave y el amor fraternal. La hermana de Kit Bianci murió en un accidente hace quince años, y aunque Kit ha aprendido a vivir con esa pérdida, un día, durante la emisión de la noticia de un incendio en Auckland, ve en la televisión a una mujer exactamente igual que su hermana. Enfadada, triste, conmocionada y sobre todo dispuesta a descubrir por qué Josie, si es que es ella, ha estado mintiendo estos últimos quince años, Kit viaja a Nueva Zelanda para buscar a su hermana. Allí se encuentra con un torrente de recuerdos de su infancia: los paseos por la playa con Josie, aquel adolescente perdido que durante un tiempo se convirtió en uno más de la familia, y sobre todo el trauma que Kit lleva años tratando de olvidar...
An Amazon Charts, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller.
From the author of The Art of Inheriting Secrets comes an emotional new tale of two sisters, an ocean of lies, and a search for the truth.
Her sister has been dead for fifteen years when she sees her on the TV news…
Josie Bianci was killed years ago on a train during a terrorist attack. Gone forever. It’s what her sister, Kit, an ER doctor in Santa Cruz, has always believed. Yet all it takes is a few heart-wrenching seconds to upend Kit’s world. Live coverage of a club fire in Auckland has captured the image of a woman stumbling through the smoke and debris. Her resemblance to Josie is unbelievable. And unmistakable. With it comes a flood of emotions—grief, loss, and anger—that Kit finally has a chance to put to rest: by finding the sister who’s been living a lie.
After arriving in New Zealand, Kit begins her journey with the memories of the past: of days spent on the beach with Josie. Of a lost teenage boy who’d become part of their family. And of a trauma that has haunted Kit and Josie their entire lives.
Now, if two sisters are to reunite, it can only be by unearthing long-buried secrets and facing a devastating truth that has kept them apart far too long. To regain their relationship, they may have to lose everything.
