A Tale of two Sisters by Abby Ayles
For some, love is evident from the very start; for others, it takes time to see what’s been in front of you the whole time. And then pray that it is not too late…
Viola Henderson’s life was ruined after a carriage accident left her face disfigured. But the blow to her self-esteem is nothing compared to the preference her mother shows her younger sister with her unmarred, perfect beauty…
Constance Henderson is desperately trying to convince her sister that a scar cannot keep her from true happiness. But when she meets Mr. Thomas Bennet, she cannot know that she is involuntarily wounding her sister further…
Viola watches with horror as her sister and the man she thought was perfect for her come closer by the day and envy is rarely a wise counselor. And it may well be the reason she loses her true chance at love with a handsome, persistent Marquess…
Will the sisters’ relationship manage to come out of this mess unscathed…?

The story of A Tale of Two Sisters was a very interesting book to read. It was told from four different points of view: 1)Viola Henderson, the oldest daughter of a very wealthy merchant, whose face was scarred during a carriage accident many years before, 2) her sister, Constance, who felt a responsibility to her sister, 3) Thomas Bennett, a baronet who was interested in Constance and 4) Antony, the Marquess of Salisbury, who was interested in Viola. Because of Viola's scar, her mother tended to focus more on her sister, Constance's chances of marriage over Viola's, even though Constance was the younger of the two. It was almost as if the mother no longer felt like Viola had any chance of ever finding a match. I hated the way she overlooked her daughter and favored the younger sister, especially in front of Viola. It was very cruel. Viola believed Thomas Bennet was the man for her. Unfortunately for Viola, Thomas and Constance had a tendre for each other. Antony had a tendre for Viola but, while she felt the pull of Antony, she wasn't about to be persuaded away from Thomas. There was a great deal of emotion in this story, with angst being the highest of all. To say that Viola was conflicted would be to say man needed air to breathe...in other words, stating the obvious. Viola had many people controlling her life, which caused her to be in utter confusion for most of the book. With all of the different POVs, the story was drawn out far more than it needed to be. Perhaps instead of one book, the author might have been better off writing two so that each couple could have their own love story instead of sharing the one. It became quite irritating after a while, trying to figure out which one to root for the most or which one to follow. To say there was a wicked villain(ness) would be putting it mildly. I'll just say that there was one who was viler than many of the villains(nesses) I've read about to date. One just never expected from which direction that would come. Or would they? The book had a remarkable ending, with the usual HEA, but with so much more. Although I worried about the story during reading it, I have to say that it had everything a reader could ask for. All of the usual emotions expected, including the humor needed to balance out the drama, intrigue, and angst. There was chemistry between the 4 main characters, each couple respectively, and a muted passion as well. This book has definitely found its place amongst the Keeper for the Shelves books.
