Life Dissembled

A LIFE DISSEMBLED EXPLORES THE COMPLEXITY OF LOSS AND THE DEVASTATING IMPACT OF GENERATIONAL FAMILY SECRETS. IT IS A HAUNTING, MULTI-LAYERED READ THAT WILL APPEAL TO READERS OF FAMILY DRAMA AND DARK, DOMESTIC SUSPENSE. IT WILL KEEP YOU GUESSING UNTIL THE FINAL PAGES.' Gillian O'Shaughnessy, Award-Winning Author Ellie is a young psychologist living in Perth, Western Australia. Her best friend and adoptive sister, Sarah, has spent the last decade in London; yet despite the distance, the two women remain fiercely close. When Sarah dies unexpectedly, Ellie flies to London to pack up her sister's life and bring her home one last time. Shattered by grief and unable to accept that Sarah died by suicide, Ellie moves through the task in a daze - until she finds Sarah's journals. What she reads stops her cold. The journals reveal a version of Sarah's life Ellie never knew existed: years of secrets and what looks like a deeply controlling relationship with Sarah's long-term boyfriend, Thomas. The more Ellie reads, the more one question takes hold: did Thomas play a role in Sarah's death?
