A provocative novel of jealousy and betrayal between two rival sisters
The classic novel from New York Times bestselling author Josephine Hart
Ruth calls herself a malevolent creature, ruled since childhood by hatred and envy for her adopted sister, Elizabeth. She grew up in Elizabeth's shadow, always falling short of her goodness and generosity, constantly resenting her very presence in the family. As they grow old, Ruth sets out to destroy her without guilt or hesitation. Ruth will strike Elizabeth where she's most vulnerable—she will steal her husband and send her collapsing into ruin. Written in Hart's concise, striking prose, Sin is a powerful and compulsively readable exploration of hate—and the destruction and tragedy it begets.
The brilliant new bestseller by the author of last year's dynamite Damage. Ruth nurses a hatred as sharp as the coldest of blades. The object of her malevolence: her cousin Elizabeth, whose very presence stole Ruth's birthright as a child. . . .

Sin
"I believe now that I was exposed too early to goodness and that I never recovered."
Sin by Josephine Hart
I read this after reading "Damage" by same author. This book was also great. Another novella, it contains the same tragic, searing prose as Damage.
This book is about the sin of envy. The main characters are Ruth and Elizabeth, two sisters. Elizabeth is almost..perfect. She has no malice in here, not one drop of craftiness or evil, not even cattiness. There is something innocent and untouched about Elizabeth and maybe that is why Ruth, her sister hates her so much.
Ruth is an empty shell. She is the opposite of Elizabeth. She is joyless. Her only motivation in life..the only thing that gives her even a slight feeling of ..well..something..is ruining Elizabeth's life. Taking Elizabeth's things. Anything that belongs to Elizabeth Ruth must have. She is a woman possessed and her possession lies in her need to totally and completely destroy Elizabeth.
As with Damage, Ruth's selfish desires cause events to spiral out of control leading inevitably to tragedy.
While not as great as Damage, Sin is still a fantastic read. Like with Damage it is a novella and can be read quickly. And like with Damage, this intense litle fire cracker of a book will linger long after you read the last page.
