Book description
'They tried to make me go to my sister's funeral today. In the
end I'd had to give in ... I'd been walking in her shadow for
sixteen years and I liked its cool darkness. It was a good place
to hide.'
How would you feel if your twin sister died suddenly?
Particularly if she was the beautiful one and you were horribly
disfigured.
And how would it feel to be alone now if you and your sister were
the only ones to know the truth about what takes place behind closed
doors at home?
And what would you do if it was your parents who brought danger and
terror into your life? Would you dare reveal how your sister died?
And would you be brave enough to find an escape of your own?
Black Heart Blue is a powerful novel about the domestic
horrors that can unfold within a small community - and one girl's
quest to stand up for the truth.
Louisa Reid is 35 years old, married with two young daughters and
