Book: Sister

Author: Rosamund Lupton

      I am so sorry about what Beatrice had encountered. At the beginning, she figured out some clues about Tess, asked information from her psychological counselor, and strived to find anything about her’ death by all means. The murder, who killed Tess, was a doctor. He showed his hospitality for helping Beatrice find all clues and news about her sister at the beginning; however, later she was be tortured by this doctor, and was treated violently as the same way of what Tess had experienced before death.

        I was quite afraid of this plots and the consequence because the encounters what both sisters had were too much more horrible than I can imagined. He took any actions to torture her and keep her overdosed with drugs, with jailing her with old clothes tucked in her mouth, in the restroom—a same place which Tess was stayed. In one hand, I blamed in my mind that how vicious and cruel behaviors the doctor had done; on the other hand, I was quite upset and worried about what they had encountered such like this unfortunate thing. When I read to this part, I was very worried about her dangerous condition. I feel that I was really in such the same danger as her and be sensitive to the any sounds of beside me, imagine as if I was Beatrice herself.

        I really like this book which has two materials blended in it: suspicion and relationship. In this book, the author wrote it just like Beatrice was really talking to Tess. When I read the letter or the saying for Tess, there is touching and heartbreak in my mind. I nearly cried out for Tess’ death and Beatrice’ helplessness. This story makes me think of the relationship in my family again. I really should cherish the relationship with my two siblings or even my parents. After leaving Changhua and studying in Taipei, I seldom go home and get along with them. It downed on me that how much I miss them during these time in Taipei and that I should hold on tight each of the gathering with them.
