Over six days in the seaside town together the sisters cautiously sink into conversations recounting the years of their separate adult lives. Their walks through the quiet town and evening talks on the terrace reveal almost more than Maria can deal with until finally the sisters confront the unspeakable—the death of their most loved sister. And always in the background the cold shadow of their mother.<i> A Sister in My House</i> is a dreamlike and compelling family drama of grief and betrayal but ultimately it is a story of hope and forgiveness.</p>
