Book synopsis

One little girl.
Mirabelle’s mother loves her. She’s her ‘little doll’. Mother dresses her, paints her face, and plaits her hair. But as Mirabelle grows, the dresses no longer fit quite as well, the face paint no longer looks quite so pretty. And Mother isn’t happy.

Two little girls.
On Mirabelle’s 13th birthday, Mother arrives home with a present – a new sister, 5-year-old Clarabelle, who Mother has rescued from the outside world.

But Mother only needs one.
As it dawns on Mirabelle that there is a new ‘little doll’ in her house, she also realises that her life isn’t what she thought it was. And that dolls often end up on the scrap heap…

My review

Wow what a book! I knew from reading the synopsis that this would be my kind of book. You go through so many ups and downs with ‘Mother’ and when you just think things are safe something else happens. Obviously cannot say too much as it would spoil the whole story. This has such a creepy feeling to it that you get engrossed and really have to read on.

The way the author describes the situations and places really made me imagine myself in those places. Sometimes it even made me feel claustrophobic. The story flowed so well and keeps you literally on edge the whole way through.

If you love thrillers and a book that has twists and turns in it then this the book for you!
