Synopsis
For years Laura has nursed her elder sister and deferred to her wishes. Mildred has just died, but her shadow seems to dominate the house. Laura looks back on her life, recalling the father she disliked and feared, whose reign gave way to Mildred's tyranny, and her brother George, who left the house twenty years earlier.This poignant novel, first published in 1956, lays bare that difficult process by which Laura reclaims her past and discovers the truth about her family.
