Welcome to Litsy!

A fiercely funny and touching debut novel of a young girl uncovering the truth about her sister�s death. Fear doesn�t come naturally to Mathilda Savitch. She prefers to look directly at things nobody else can even mention: for example, her beloved older sister�s death. She was pushed in front of a train by a man who is still on the loose, and after a year of searching for clues, Mathilda has come no closer to the truth about Helene�s murder�until she cracks her email password and a whole secret life emerges � one that swiftly draws Mathilda into her sister�s world of clouded motives and strange emotions. If she can find the keys to Helene�s past, she�s sure she can wake her family from their nightmare of grief. But in crossing into that underworld and tracing her sister�s footsteps, she has to risk everything that matters to her. Mathilda Savitch is a poignant, furiously funny, and tender page-turner from an extraordinary debut novelist. From the Hardcover edition.
