Sister of Mine by Laurie Petrou.  Sisters and murder.  I'm one quarter through the book.  The language pulls you in, the relationships are what you want to pick apart like threads so you can see all the individual pieces, the lapses and dialations in time reveal as well as hide pertinant information, it is a puzzle where one piece disappears and another takes its place, changing the picture you thought you had.  As an only child, I find this book about sisters fascinating.  I ask myself, is this what it is like having a sister?

All the Water in the World by Karen Raney.  A mother-daughter novel about a 16 year-old girl dying of cancer while living the rest of her life to the fullest and her mother's beautiful anguish as a junxtaposition.

The Captives by Debta Jo Immergut.  A psychological thriller.  Something shocking and evil happened and a congressman's daughter is serving hard time.  The psychologist turns out to have known our prisoner from their school days where he was enamoured with her.  Instead of passing the case on to another psychologist, he stays to unravel the mysteries behind his juvenial attraction.  Male and Female power dynamics come into play.
