Feb 13, 2012 Stacey (prettybooks) rated it 5 of 5 stars · review of another edition Recommends it for: Jodi Picoult fans - it's different but similar

Sister is a psychological thriller from the viewpoint of Beatrice. Beatrice communicates to her missing sister Tess through a letter or diary-like entries. The plot is centered around her attempts to find out the truth about Tess's disappearance.

I loved this book. Another reviewer described it as a "crime fiction novel for people who don't like crime fiction" and I agree with that description. I've read a few crime fiction novels and really enjoyed them (e.g. the Millenium trilogy) but it can b...more

Rating: 4.5 stars

I put this book on my ‘mystery/thriller’ shelf based on its blurb, but there’s SO much more to it than that. Yes, the question of what happened to Tess is its central thread, but that’s only one of its many layers and complexities.

I was absorbed by it, confused, compelled. It’s an emotive read, looking at every kind of human trait, and I was moved to tears more than once. It’s one of those books where the full story is only revealed right at the very end, and even then you have...more

Adorei ler este livro e por isso dei-lhe a classificação máxima – 5 estrelas. Além do mistério, que nos faz querer virar as páginas velozmente, também devido a uma escrita cativante. A autora Rosamund explora o mundo das ligações familiares, principalmente o elo que liga duas irmãs e o faz de uma maneira brilhante.

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. A very enjoyable debut from Rosamund Lupton, 'Sister' follows the narrator, Beatrice, as she attempts to uncover the truth about the disappearance of her free-spirited sister Tess. As other readers have commented, the blurb on the back cover is a tad misleading: it suggests that (**slight spoiler alert**) what follows will be a straightforward search for a missing person. In fact, Tess's fate has already been decided, and the novel instead charts Bea's determined search for the truth.

I'd do anything to be with you, right now, right this moment, so I could hold your hand, look at your face, listen to your voice.

Sister was an intense, emotional, touching, moving and yet suspenseful thriller that took my breath away. In terms of intensity it reminded me a lot of “If I Stay”, which basically left me as an emotional train wreck.

In the beginning it was a bit difficult to get into the story as Beatrice jumps between times very often. In one moment she’s sitting in a police office...more

Rosamund Lupton estreia-se no mundo literário com este thiller/policial - Irmã. Já muito ouvi falar sobre o livro e as críticas positivas são mais do que as que posso contar. São muitos aqueles que recomendam esta leitura e que dizem que este livro é um policial fantástico, como há muito que não se via. Bem, com tanto aparato à volta deste livro tive de espreitar, como é óbvio.
E mal comecei a ler opiniões e ver as críticas maravilhosas a choverem, tornou-se impossível não formar certas expectativas quanto a esta obra. Esta coisa de criar expectativas quanto a uma leitura é uma coisa muito traiçoeira. Tanto pode sair bem, como mal. Tanto podemos chegar ao fim e ver que a obra superou as ditas expectativas, como também podemos chegar ao final da leitura e ver que se calhar, o burburinho à volta de certo livro, parece-nos de certa forma injustificável.
Mais uma vez, foi devido à Tinkerbell do blogue My Imaginarium, que tive a oportunidade de ler esta novidade editorial, e por isso um muito obrigada gigante. Já perco a conta às boas leituras e bons momentos que me proporcionaste, mesmo quando vejo um livro chegar ao fim e me dou conta que não gostei assim tanto. Como se diz e muito bem, o que conta é a intenção e eu estou-te eternamente agradecida pelas oportunidades que me dás.

A obra Irmã traz-nos um mistério, à primeira vista como muito outros que andam por aí. Beatrice, que vive com o seu marido em Nova Iorque, recebe inesperadamente uma chamada de telefone da sua mãe a comunicar que a sua irmã mais nova, Tess, se encontra desaparecida há já alguns dias. Temendo o pior, Bee decide largar toda a sua vida e obrigações para ir à procura da sua irmã.
No entanto, é quando chega a Londres que, ao deparar-se com as verdadeiras circunstâncias do desaparecimento da sua irmã que Beatrice se apercebe que a irmã que julgava conhecer tão intimamente também tem alguns segredos e talvez não a conheça tão bem quanto ao início julgava. E esta recusa-se a deixar-se levar pelas pessoas que acreditam que Tess, uma rapariga determinada, lutadora e ambiciosa, tenha desaparecido sem deixar rasto e sem qualquer justificação.
Mas, quando Tess é encontrada morta indicando que suicídio terá sido a causa desta tragédia, Beatrice nem consegue acreditar e mais determinada se torna de forma a que consiga deslindar este mistério. Bee, desgostosa e contudo, mais determinada que nunca, com o amor e afecto que sente pela irmã a motivar a sua causa recusa-se a desistir de tentar provar que a irmã não se suicidou. Beatrice acredita piamente que a sua pequena irmã terá sido assassinada por algum motivo obscuro e ela irá fazer de tudo para trazer a verdade à luz do dia...

A primeira vez que peguei no livro até esfreguei as mãos, a pensar como seria óptimo voltar ao meu género literário favorito. Foi com entusiasmo que comecei o livro que parecia ter todos os ingredientes para me agradar. No entanto, parece que as milhentas críticas positivas que li não fizeram jus ao livro, na minha opinião. Acho que esta estreia está muito sobrevalorizada e não consegui apreciar a obra da forma como muitos outros o fizeram.
Apesar da autora ter uma escrita agradável, sem grandes artifícios, a leitura foi algo penosa devido à organização do livro. Os constantes saltos temporais entre passado e presente mal clarificados deixaram-me confusa e com a cabeça à roda, já para não dizer altamente frustrada. Este factor fez com que por variadas vezes perdesse o fio à meada e me perdesse na história.
Além deste pormenor, confesso que não consegui criar nenhuma ligação com os personagens deste livro. Beatrice, personagem principal deste thriller por diversas vezes me deu vontade de puxar os cabelos e a sua personalidade foi algo que me irritou sobremaneira.
No entanto, gostei do retrato que a autora fez da relação fraternal e consegui sentir-me próxima dessa ligação. Achei bonito os sentimentos e o apoio incondicional entre irmãs e esse foi sem dúvida, o melhor ponto da história.

Por fim, o meu grande problema com esta leitura foi mesmo o próprio enredo da história e a forma como a autora escolheu apresentar e relatar este mistério aos seus leitores. Não tenho nada contra livros que são escritos em formato epistolar, como podem confirmar em outras opiniões que escrevi aqui no blogue. De facto, um dos meus livros preferidos de sempre é um romance epistolar. Contudo, não posso deixar de referir que não concordo que este formato tenha sido o mais feliz para apresentar neste tipo de thriller e não ajudou em nada à fluidez da leitura.
Já o mistério não me impressionou de maneira nenhuma, talvez por se debruçar de uma forma muito intensa na genética e na temática da Fibrose Quística. Eu, embora interessada em conhecer sempre novas realidades e absorver conhecimento, não deixo de ser uma leiga no que toca a estas temáticas e a maneira como a autora explorou o assunto, deixou-me aborrecida e não foi de forma nenhuma, esclarecedora. Quando leio um livro gosto de sair mais esclarecida e não a sentir-me de alguma forma mais ignorante.
Talvez não tenha ido com espírito aberto para esta leitura, mas o resultado final acabou por ser um pelo qual eu não esperava.

De qualquer forma, o pequeníssimo excerto que constava no final do livro pareceu-me interessante e quem sabe se o seu próximo livro muda o rumo da maré?
Estou disposta a deixar que esta autora me impressione. (less)

This is a great summer read.

This book was astonishing. The blurb does not do the book justice and from what I read on the cover, it was certainly not what I expected. From the start, the book was quite a page turner and it was filled with intrigue. I thought that the way it was written - through a letter/conversation with her 'lawyer'/sister - was very different and effective.

I'm no longer taking Amazon's recommendations for suspense novels. I was recently disappointed by A Discovery of Witches, and now Sister is getting a big push. Two more boring "thrillers" are hard to imagine. Sister follows snobby, racist Beatrice as she investigates the disappearance and possible murder of her free-spirited sister. Actually, Beatrice has already solved the crime, and is telling the story to a policeman in a series of sessions - which is as annoying a narrative structure as I ha...more

Initially, I really enjoyed this book. It opens up and immediately grasps readers with its unique perspective - the book is narrated by one sister directly to her deceased sister, catching her up on what has been happening since her death. It really gives an interesting frame to the novel and its actions. There is a lot of emotion in this book - and Lupton does a wonderful job of conveying a realistic relationship between these two sisters.

Unfortunately, the ending spoiled the entire book for me...more

As has been said by others, this novel is really a mixture of a crime novel and a book about sisterly love. It is NOT spine-tingling as was written on the front of my book. By the way, I've think I've decided to not pay too much attention to reviews of any book before I actually read it; even though I need to know something about it to decide if I want to read it, I'm finding that too much is sometimes given away in reviews, so am going to have to be more careful about what I read ahead of time....more

I was really captured by the story and I managed to follow it from start to end, even if I'm not usually into thrillers or other similar kinds of books.

Their love for each other leads to a justice that would have been impossible without the certainty of understanding another human being so intimately as only close sisters can. It is also a murder mystery that explores the inner life of a family changed by the tragedy of the death of a young brother a decade before, which initially leads to a slow distancing as time and lifestyle choices begin to fray the bonds of relationships between siblings and parents, so slowly they are unnoticed while there are divorces and jobs and lovers pulling everyone to distant homes. An early tragedy, the death of a young brother to cystic fibrosis, emotionally scars the origin family beyond bearing, but while the parents careen away from each other, the sisters sustain and deepen their affection and caring. Back to the present, one of the sisters has gone missing. Suddenly what is important and what is not becomes clear and everything changes again. In finding out what happened to her sister, the other sister discovers the answer to all the mysteries of her own self, while cutting the bonds from imposed limitations she was wrapping around her life. These emotionally deadening choices were forcing her to a safe, uneventful existence lacking much investment of feeling, probably because of the trauma of her brother's death and the subsequent leaving of her father. This is an intense book, beautifully written, a murder mystery, and an excellent exploration of a loving sister who despite enormous grief, finds love will power her through opaque veils designed to hide emotional truth. She discovers inner strength to press people who wish to intimidate her, including a fiancé, upper-class professionals, and police. She learns she has a good brain for clues and common sense, and to trust her judgement when no one else does. Unfortunately, when she has put many of the pieces together, but not all, the danger to her life is extreme. I had only one problem with this book - it is in the form of a letter to the missing sister and the voice is YOU YOU YOU throughout. I HATE HATE HATE that! Ugh. Otherwise, I'd have put this on my favorites shelf. (less)

The plot moves things quickly. The narrator never comes clearly into focus, however. My sense is that the author wanted to write a "message" novel and found a way to package it here--by crafting a story of a woman who returns to the UK from NYC to solve the murder of her younger sister (whose death has been ruled a suicide). The framing device of the main character talking to a lawyer works--and the author picks great times to pull out of the narrative present to provide the meaty details. The t...more

This is my first Rosamund Lupton read as I bought two of her published books simultaneously, because 1. I knew I was going to love it. 2. I didn't want to wait if I loved the first and hadn't bought the second. 3. Both were luckily on sale in Bookdepository and I got both half price.

I felt like reading something contemporary, set in English, with an air of mystery. It's beautiful - Lupton's prose is so solid, sophisticated and fluid. Conversations flow like raw emotions, often hidden but stripped bare in narration. The mystery is the main plot, but also not the main plot, if that makes sense, because the center of the story is a sisterly connection and love and family, instead of who abducts Tess and is she murdered kind of questions.

I love Tess, and I love Beatrice. Each is so individual, distinct and well developed. I love the little arcs of relationships in the book too, between mother and child, father and child, friends, neighbors, lovers. I liken the experience of reading this to peeling the skin of our favorite fruit, we never really know what's inside, but we know we're going to love it and be in for a savory taste.

I love the writing style. It's the first time I really enjoy a good mystery, because I love it when the writing style is deep and thoughtful instead of just quick pacing and a good puzzle solving mystery. It reminds me of Maggie O'Farrel's After You'd Gone, both have similar feels and almost a similar theme (though not exactly sisterly, but it centers on family and the characters are a bit similar).

I'm a little disappointed by the twist in the ending, but I can understand how it adds a layer of depth to the story as a whole. I'm also a bit bothered by the slow pacing, but I savor the experience of reading it too much that in the end I just don't want the book to ever end.

I look forward to read Afterwards. Oh, the cover is also so lovely, a splash of red and black on a white background. I like the theme going on in both books in terms of cover design.(less)

“When I talk about unrequited love, most of you probably think about romantic love, but there are many other kinds of love that are not adequately returned, if they are returned at all. An angry adolescent may not love her mother back as her mother loves her; an abusive father doesn't return the innocent open love of his young child. But grief is the ultimate unrequieted love. However hard and however long we love someone who has died, they can never love us back. At least that is how it feels...” — 54 people liked it
