The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell
Two sisters: one of them will steal the other's life. Now Kitty has dementia and Esme whom no-one knew existed has reappeared. Slowly their story unfolds going backwards and forwards from their childhood in India to their coming of age in stuffy, upper-class Edinburgh. What did Kitty not mean to do and who is the baby that haunts them? If you're after a straight-forward read this is not for you but if you enjoy unravelling puzzles, it's a must.
