The blurb...

"Ten days after the war ended, my sister Laura drove a car off a bridge."
More than fifty years on, Iris Chase is rememering Laura's mysterious death. And so begins an extraordinary and comnpelling story of two sisters and their secrets. Set against a panoramic backdrop of twentieth-century history, The Blind Assassin is an epic tale of memory, intrigue and betrayal."

I really enjoyed this. I read it on a plane to Canada and left it in my Hotel room when I checked out. That was on 30 Dec 2007 at the Sundial Hotel at Whistler in B.C.
