Description

The Other Hoffmann Sister by Ben Fergusson is a gripping and evocative novel about two sisters set in pre-WW1 Germany. In 1902, when their family moves to German Southwest Africa, Ingrid's anxieties about her sister Margarete's disappearance begin to intensify. As the story unfolds, Ingrid's hopes of discovering the truth about her sister's vanishing are repeatedly dashed by the turmoil of Europe on the eve of the First World War. The mystery of what happened to Margarete becomes an all-consuming obsession for Ingrid, who returns to the von Ketz estate after the war in a desperate bid to uncover the truth. With its complex characters and atmospheric setting, this novel is likely to appeal to fans of historical fiction and suspenseful stories.
