Zwei ungleiche Schwestern, ein unheimliches Herrenhaus und ein furchtbares Familiengeheimnis: Vivien stört den Alltag ihrer Schwester Virginia empfindlich und schwört bei ihrem Besuch unangenehme Erinnerungen herauf.
Klappentext zu „The Behaviour of Moths “
From her lookout on the first floor, Ginny watches and waits for her younger sister to return to the crumbling mansion that was once their idyllic childhood home. Vivien has not set foot in the house since she left, forty-seven years ago; Ginny, the reclusive moth expert, has rarely ventured outside it. But with Vivien's arrival, dark, unspoken secrets surface. Told in Ginny's unforgettable voice, this debut novel tells a disquieting story of two sisters and the ties that bind - sometimes a little too tightly.
