Sins
Sins tells the story of Helene Junot, a beautiful and smart woman who spends a good portion of her childhood thinking about revenge. The story starts in France when young Helen is forced to leave her home, family, and everything she knows. At just seven years of age, Helene witnesses the murder, violence, and rape all around her. While she survives the tragedies witnessed during WWII, her loved ones are not as lucky. Helen vows to revenge, and as she braced more horrors in her youth, her need to make those who wronged her grow even further.

During the decades that follow, Helene dedicates all her efforts into improving herself. The now hardened woman is ruthless and commits her fair share of sins along the way. All of Helene’s hard work doesn’t go to waste. Over time, she builds an impressive business empire and become one of the most celebrated women in the fashion world. Despite all this success, Helene doesn’t forget the vow she made to revenge against the Nazis.

At times, vengeance comes at a price, so it’s not all fun for Helene. Hers is a lonely life, and while there are many chances to enjoy life with others, her mind is only set on revenge. It doesn’t help that Helene has more than enough enemies keen to destroy her. Fortunately, great love changes her life and somehow manages to dilute all the hate she has been carrying around for years. Will Helene embrace her new life and forget about the past?
This is a book with a solid plot that sprawls across several decades. Over slightly more than 600 pages, the author takes the reader through Helene’s ups and downs. While Helene thinks that revenge is the only way to get some closure, she discovers that love is a portion powerful enough to make her whole. It is admirable that she is able to accomplish so much despite all she had to deal with when growing up. While anger was one of her driving forces, it is sweet that the right person comes to melt all the bitterness from her heart.

Sins is an intriguing story of murder, revenge, and a host of noxious sins. While the story is long enough, it moves quickly, weaving together the sins, lies, and counter-sins around Helene’s life.

Ariadne lived in absurdity, unaware of her biological parents’ wealth. When the twins are born, their father believes that their birth was a curse. This explains why Ariadne is raised in secret by a childless couple.
