SIN - JOSEPHINE HART TASCHENBUCH

'Sin might be the spearhead of a new fictional genre' ANTHONY QUINN  INDEPENDENT 'The reader
looks on with mingled shock and fascination ' NEW YORK TIMES 'Shocking . . . unrelenting in its
intensity . . . you won't be able to put it down' COSMOPOLITAN 'Though she wounded me beyond
pain  I too inflicted deep hurt. Not born to murder her  still I sought to break her . . . Her
name was Elizabeth Ashbridge. And I even envied her that.' A provocative novel of jealousy and
betrayal between two rival sisters 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 readable exploration of hate-and the destruction and tragedy it begets. It's
about a woman possessed by an obsessive envy  a woman who will stop at nothing to get what she
wants. From the author of the bestselling Damage  now takes its proper place as a Virago Modern
Classic.
