"A story about a plain woman constantly living in the shadow of a beautiful and multi-talented older sister and how it ultimately leads to madness, and the friends and family that seem oblivious to her breakdown.
I liked how Joyce Carol Oates used the little sister's point of view to show how she (Georgene) is treated differently than Marguerite and how painful growing in the atmosphere of perfection everywhere can be. People seem to look right through her, use her to get information to exploit Marguerite's memories, and then toss her away as if she's not a whole person, just an extension of an extremely wealthy family whose patriarch barely notices that Georgene is alive. This results in a simmering anger that Georgene can barely contain and it drives the entire plot line..." - Amazon reviewer
