My Sister, My Love By Joyce Carol Oates
My Sister, My Love: The Intimate Story of Skyler Rampike
By: Joyce Carol Oates
Fiction
This book is an unexpurgated first-person narrative of nineteen-year-old Skyler Rampike, the only surviving child of an “infamous” American family. A decade ago the Rampikes were destroyed by the murder of Skyler’s six-year-old ice-skating champion sister, Bliss, and the media scrutiny that followed. Part investigation into the unsolved murder; part elegy for the lost Bliss and for Skyler’s own lost childhood; and part corrosively funny exposé of the pretensions of upper-middle-class American suburbia, this captivating novel explores with unexpected sympathy and subtlety the intimate lives of those who dwell in Tabloid Hell.
