A book that captivates us with its vivid expressive dual narrative, with its economic language, with its simple means, and with its crucial and impressively decisive movements.

It is a well-known story: two sisters, where the older one envies the younger. But the author is innovative: she intricately weaves the older sister's jealousy with... the younger sister's admiration! The younger one perceives all the little spiteful actions of her sister as grand proofs of love.

The book is not a simple list of moments; it has development and a climax-resolution in this intense and tense long-lasting relationship, which most of us (both young and old) know from first-hand experience.
