Sunset by Jessie Cave was a real surprise to read and I have to be honest, I’m still processing my thoughts about it weeks after finishing. It’s the story of two sisters, Ruth and Hannah who are polar opposites in many ways but have a strong sisterly bond that is traumatically broken after an accident when they go on holiday together. Ruth is forced to re-evaluate her life, knowing that Hannah was always the more responsible and “together” of the sisters whereas she had a reputation for being a little wilder and carefree. Sunset explores how Hannah navigates her grief and tries to move forward and how she manages the guilt that arises with several of the decisions she makes. This novel is an interesting mixture of both laughter and tears. Obviously it covers some very upsetting themes but it manages them in a sensitive and authentic way and I loved how it wasn’t afraid to explore real world issues or more taboo subjects that are rarely written about. My favourite part of the story had to be the relationship between Ruth and Hannah - it touched me very personally as I’m very lucky to have a similarly close relationship with my own sister and I couldn’t bear it if something like this were to happen to us. Sunset is a highly emotive novel and I did find myself thinking and re-thinking about certain passages or mental images I had in my head because of the powerful and compelling nature of the writing. I’ll definitely be checking out anything else Jessie Ware writes!
