Some families keep their secrets in locked drawers. Lucienne Boucher kept hers in plain sight. After their mother's death, sisters Sylvie and Renée return to the dining room of their childhood home to prepare it for an estate sale. The room is still arranged exactly as Lucienne wanted it: polished table, good china, lace runner, and the white porcelain sugar bowl no one was ever allowed to use. But as the house is sorted, priced, and emptied for strangers, something hidden inside that carefully preserved room begins to disturb the story the sisters have always believed about their family. Tender, restrained, and quietly devastating, The Sugar Bowl is a story about sisters, silence, inheritance, and the painful discovery that love and unfairness can live in the same house.
