Twins, brother and sister, born out of wedlock and under other terrible conditions, have a very hard life. Then it gets worse, and then it gets worse. This is a long and sad tale of family secrets, misunderstandings, and some paranormal misadventures, There are a lot of twists and turns in the plot, but most are in a downward spiral. I did feel for the characters and their tragic lives, and I’m glad there was some positive results. Won’t be taking on the 2nd book, but that’s just me. The book is compelling if you’re into gothic tragedy.
