| | Varieties of Revelatory Experience - Linda Simon |
 | | In The Dark Sister, Goldstein takes on the James family, William, Henry, and Alice; the events of their lives enable her to investigate the creation of a novel, the varieties of revelatory experience, and the fate of brilliant women. |
 | | The Dark Sister is part psychological thriller, in the style of Henry James' Turn of the Screw, and part nineteenth century romance, in the style of Hawthorne's Blithedale Romance. |
 | | There are many sisters in The Dark sister: Hedda, a contemporary novelist, and her sister Stella; Alice Bonnet, a nineteenth-century spinster, and her sister Vivianna; and, of course, Alice James, sister to the notable William and Henry. |
