Margaret Atwood. Slipy ubyvtsya. (The Blind Asassin)
"Laura has always been a freak, while Iris is restrained, unlike her sister. They had each other, despite the world around. And then the fatal thing came, which changed the sisters' life and resulted in Laura's disappearance. She left behind a scandalous and mysterious book, where a man told his lover fantastic stories about the world where blind assassins lived. However, Laura's novel is a quest. Iris knows that in it – there is their entire life, with the painful details and secrets... How was it in actual life? Where is the line between life and the book?"
