Haunting, gripping & gorgeously written, SEE WHAT I HAVE DONE by Sarah Schmidt is a re-imagining of the unsolved American true crime case of the Lizzie Borden murders, for fans of BURIAL RITES & MAKING A MURDERER. ` Eerie & compelling, Sarah Schmidt breathes such life into the terrible, twisted tale of Lizzie Borden & her family, she makes it impossible to look away` Paula Hawkins When her father & step-mother are found brutally murdered on a summer morning in 1892, Lizzie Borden
- thirty two years old & still living at home
- immediately becomes a suspect. But after a notorious trial, she is found innocent, & no one is ever convicted of the crime. Meanwhile, others in the claustrophobic Borden household have their own motives & their own stories to tell: Lizzie`s unmarried older sister, a put-upon Irish housemaid, & a boy hired by Lizzie`s uncle to take care of a problem. This unforgettable debut makes you question the truth behind one of the great unsolved mysteries, as well as exploring power, violence & the harsh realities of being a woman in late nineteenth century America.
