And so goes this tale of two sisters, one who became a war correspondent suffering from post-traumatic stress, and the other an alcoholic - both abused as children. My Sister's Bones is guaranteed to be this year's most twisty and twisted read - you'll never see what's coming! The film opens in a bleak police station where celebrated war correspondent Kate Rafter (Seagrove) faces questions from a psychiatrist, Dr Shaw (Kurylenko), as they work through the painful events of Rafter’s life.

The reviews I've read that say there is too much going on don't seem to understand how this novel relates to life. The mental health of our characters is further questioned through the character of Sally as we suddenly see the story through her eyes in a stunning midway twist. But Kate and Sally have different takes on that time in their lives, and Sally is still reeling from the disappearance of her 16-year-old daughter, Hannah, five years previously. As well as Kate’s backstory as a war reporter, we also learn of the trauma that she and her sister faced in their childhood.
