Two little girls, identical twins. One dies falling off balcony at grandparent's house. The parents traumatized as is surviving daughter. Dad punches boss (architect) and loses job. Mom, writer, is depressed. Daughter (survivor) tells Mom she is the other twin, that they have it backwards as to who died and who lived. Mom can't be sure. Now they've all moved to a lighthouse on an island in Scotland. Page turner, great fun so far. Reminds me a little of Turn of the Screw.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
