My second recommended summer read is one I haven't yet read, but is one I am looking forward to reading very much. The Behaviour of Moths by Poppy Adams is creating a bit of a buzz. I believe it is called The Sister in the US.
Ginny lives in a crumbling mansion, where she once had an idyllic childhood with her sister, Vivien. Now she sits waiting for her sister to return home. A sister who hasn't been back for forty seven years.
Ginny, a lepidopterist, has rarely set foot outside of the mansion. She wonders why Vivien is coming home and remembers their youth, loss and old rivalries. She has shut off and sold the furniture in various parts of the mansion. The only room left untouched is the attic, where the walls are pinned with moths...
It has been described as gripping, absorbing, original, complex, chilling and thrilling. I can't wait to read it.
