Her family held a funeral for Elise after the coach disaster. Five years later, the police find her body. She survived the accident, and nobody can account for the years she never came home.
About the book
Elise was twenty-four when she disappeared after a coach came off a flooded road. The search ended. A court declared her dead. Her family held a funeral and tried, each in their own way, to carry on.
Five years later, a woman is found dead beside a country bridleway. Her name is Elise.
For Clara, the news does not bring her sister back. It takes away the only account of her loss that ever made sense. Elise lived beyond the accident. Someone may have seen her. Someone may know why she never returned.
As the police follow the traces of a missing life, Clara must revisit the sister she remembers, the last arguments she cannot undo, and accounts that do not quite agree.
My Sister Had Two Funerals is a psychological thriller about family, absence and the terrible distance between believing someone is gone and discovering what really happened.
