I LOVED this book. It's a quick read but it packs a punch. Sibling rivalry, petty jealousies between spouses, and vengeful neighbours converge to an ending you won't expect. As sharp as a knife and as gnarled as an oak, this who done it is a must-rea ...more

Quotes by Louise Mullins (?)

“Some things must remain the same in order for the universe to flow properly. One pebble dashed out across the ocean leaves a lifetime of ripples. They call it the butterfly effect.”
― Louise Mullins

“Sometimes what we imagine is much worse than reality. When people stop communicating their feelings to each other it becomes much easier to hold back. When something happens that you'd usually tell your wife or husband it becomes difficult because you're no longer talking as openly as you once were. Soon you start to withhold more and more from one another, holding less intimate conversations, until eventually you begin to appear secretive, hostile even. Passive recipients of each others behaviour, rather than active partners. One day you wake up full of resentment and bitterness. You want your wife to pay, take responsibility for their part in making you feel this way. You want to hurt them.”
― Louise Mullins, Why She Left
