Publisher's Summary:
Ruth calls herself a malevolent creature, ruled since childhood by hatred and envy for her adopted sister, Elizabeth. She grew up in Elizabeth's shadow, always falling short of her goodness and generosity, constantly resenting her very presence in the family. As they grow old, Ruth sets out to destroy her without guilt or hesitation. Ruth will strike Elizabeth where she's most vulnerable - she will steal her husband and send her collapsing into ruin. Written in Hart's concise, striking prose, Sin is a powerful and compulsively listenable exploration of hate - and the destruction and tragedy it begets.

Sin is more like Revenge
Slightly unbelievable a sister could resent an adopted sister her entire life. To this extent at times makes this story question why? Unless true mental illness is the only answer and that is the only option to take.
Sin
This is the second book I've read by this author. She has a very different style. It's almost dry, yet not boring at all. Her stories do not have happy endings, which I think is awesome, yet they are love stories just the same.
This book gives a glimpse into the truly disturbed mind of a young woman. The resentment she feels towards her "adopted" sister is profound and has been growing within her since she was a child.
She will stop at nothing in her efforts to destroy her sister. Her thinking is completely distorted and only when nearly all things are lost, due to her obsession, does she begin to make a sort of change in herself. But really, does a truly disturbed mind ever change?
This book made me think about many things. First and foremost, the things we contemplate within the confines of our minds. Most people may entertain irrational thoughts, but most don't act upon them. Ruth acts on them. All of them.
I found it very intriguing.
Enjoyed it totally.
It's been a while since I read it, but I remember that the jealousy of one and the actions of the cousin trying to stay out of the spotlight were the interesting parts of this book. The accident that should have drawn them together only added more anger. Trying to relate into my own life, I wold have cut off all contact earlier, but then there would not have been an interesting side of their lives. I don't think I was happy with the ending, but I understand it written that way.

Love! Josephine Hart thankyou!!!
Intriguing
This book was as good as Josephine Hart's most famous novel, Damage. I love Ms. Hart's writing style, it's thoroughly original.
