My Sister, Esther - Baillie, Martha

As New; A beautifully written compelling portrayal of the secret relationships which bind together the Maclaren family. Muriel is independent, travelling to Paris and China, living on her own, but unable to maintain a relationship with a man. Her sister Esther is fragile, dependent, and self destructive, suffering from anorexia and attempting suidicide before finally achieving balance in her life. Despite Muriel's travel and Esther's struggle with personal demons, the sisters remain linked, always exploring the reasons why they are so different. Martha Baillie's subtle prose reveals the secret events which form their separate identities, making them who they are.
