The Sorrow of Sisters by Wendy K Harris

Forty-nine year old Jane sits in her glass-walled designer home tapping out lucrative novels. She has accepted her childlessness, adores her comfortable husband, Chas and copes with her irascible father, Henry. But she is feeling dulled by the weight of her own repetitive fiction. Then Aunt Lillian dies and leaves her Wraith Cottage on the Isle of Wight. Jane has never heard of Lillian and Henry refuses to enlighten her. But Jane's curiosity has been aroused and she decides to investigate. Her inheritance reveals a story more extraordinary than she could have imagined.


Henry raped Lillian, his wife's sister, who was in a lesbian relationship with Emm, his sister.  Lillian had a daughter from the rape, Jane, who Henry abducted.


I just loved it. A very emotional book but well worth it.
