Atria Books *** 1/2 #netgalley #themajesties This family drama about the Sulinados, a Chinese-Indonesian family dynasty, is about two sisters, Gwendolyn and Estella. It opens with Gwendolyn lying in a coma, desperately tyring to regain her memories and consciousness to reveal what happened to her. Is Gwendolyn the only survivor of her sister, Estellas evil poisoining of her family? The book center on Estellas Motives, but the family history is riveting. The characters are well develped, and easy to become involved with; none of them are very trustworthy. This is a family of great opulance, and they live the life of the rich an famous, visiting Jakarta, Paris, Californias Coast and Melbourne. Gwendolyn has developed a high fashion design using insects and silkkworms, but it is seen as highly controversial. Estella is in an unhappy, stifling marriage to Leonard, who resents his wives familys opulence. The ending will touch every emotion in your soul.....it is disturbing and unforgettable and will probably anger some readers. I thought it was brilliant. Read this and see what you think...and feel.... Thanks to Netgalley, and Atria Books and the author, Tiffany Tsao for sending this ebook ARC. (  ) over.the.edge | Aug 21, 2022 | The twist at the end had actually crossed my mind in the first few pages but the story was such a fascinating picture of the characters' lifestyle as members of a wealthy elite that are also victims of racial prejudice that I had quite forgotten about it by the time I reached the end, and then I found it unnecessary to the story being told.

"Gwendolyn and Estella have always been as close as sisters can be. Growing up in a wealthy, eminent, and sometimes deceitful family, they've relied on each other for support and confidence. But now Gwendolyn is lying in a coma, the sole survivor of Estella's poisoning of their whole clan. As Gwendolyn struggles to regain consciousness, she desperately retraces her memories, trying to uncover the moment that led to this shocking and brutal act. Was it their aunt's mysterious death at sea? Estella's unhappy marriage to a dangerously brutish man? Or were the shifting loyalties and unspoken resentments at the heart of their opulent world too much to bear? Can Gwendolyn, at last, confront the carefully buried mysteries in their family's past and the truth about who she and her sister really are?"--Publisher description.

--That was going to be my whole review, but seeing what else people had to say, including misleading publisher descriptions, I will add: this is mostly a thoughtful family drama and a psychological study. I absolutely found it suspenseful and well-written, but I also don't like any of the books it's erroneously compared to, so, manage your own expectations. Certainly going to watch this author. (
