About this ebook

Looking at the Stars is a tale of two sisters starting new lives in another country and all the richness of the challenge this brings, especially the emotional strain it puts on their relationship. Charlotte joins her younger sister M, in France in the autumn then travels alone to Holland where she begins her own solitary journey fraught with insecurities. Then the following spring M begins to experience a mental breakdown which ultimately descends into a pyschosis.
Charlotte finds her new life suddenly spinning towards a downward spiral of sinister events when M mysteriously disappears.
Looking at the Stars is based on real life events.

Caroline Totton

"I began my book in 2000 after my sister died under mysterious circumstances. I didn't want to forget the colourful recklessness of our time spent together. It started as a personal journal and then grew into this wonderful deep, strong story. They say there is a book in everyone. It is only tragic that, for many, like me, the events that drive the book out of the psyche and onto the paper are inconceivably sad. I wanted to create something beautiful in her memory and out of the ashes of the bombshell that she dropped on us." Caroline was born in 1968 and grew up in Belfast, Ireland. She relocated to the Netherlands in 1999 where she studied for an MSc and now works for the United Nations. She lives with her Dutch partner and two cats in The Hague.
