In February 2015 we read The Blind Assassin

'Ten days after the war ended, my sister Laura drove a car off a bridge.'
More than fifty years on, Iris Chase is remembering Laura's mysterious death. And so begins an extraordinary and compelling story of two sisters and their secrets. Set against a panoramic backdrop of twentieth-century history The Blind Assassin is an epic tale of memory, intrigue and betrayal.
