The story focuses on the millinery business run by identical twins Sinead and Sheila. The business is going from strength to strength until Sheila disappears and is presumed dead. While her husband and the rest of the family are prepared to accept this scenario Sinead refuses and is convinced she is still alive. This belief is strengthened when she employs Krystie who has just returned to Dublin after an unsuccessful attempt to break into the New York fashion world. Krystie is convinced she has seen Sheila in New York and this opens up a can of worms as Sinead insists on trying to track down her sister.
As the story unfolds we are drawn into a world of family secrets from the past and present. It is a story that is fast paced and engaging and I'd happily recommend it. It's an ideal book to take on holiday or curl up with on a Sunday afternoon. Either way I'm happy to recommend it and look forward to reading more as this was my first introduction to Colette Caddle.
