plot summary/ because strands

There were once 3 sisters Clothilde (red/ talent), Bettine (youngest/ blonde/ beautiful), and Ophile (blue/ oldest/ smartest). Who lived together in a house by the sea.

Because they lived together in a house by the sea, there are lots of storms.

Because there was a really bad storm, the lighthouse keeper is killed by lightening.

Because he was killed, the sisters contact his son.

Because they contact his son, he comes and they all fall in love with him.

Because they all fall in love with him, he must choose one.

Because he must chose one, he chooses Bettine.

Because he chooses Bettine, Ophile becomes wildly jealous and Clothilde retreats into her own world.

Because Ophile is wildly jealous, she tortures Bettine and because Clothilde is in her own world, she suffers alone (paranoid about birds?) .

Because Ophile tortures Bettine, Paris intervenes.

Because Paris intervenes, Bettine falls more in love with him, Ophile feels guilty and birds rip out Clothilde’s hair.

Because she is more in love with him, he asks her to marry him.

Because they are getting married, they decide to have a baby and Clothide starts to communicate with it and Ophile is enraged.

Because Ophile is enraged, Bettine is frightened and flees to the city.

Because she flees, Ophile pursues her and intends to blow her up with a firecracker. (not sure here…what is Ophile trying to do? Hurt Bettine? Get her in trouble? Hurt Paris?)

Because she intends to blow up Bettine, she ends up blowing up another child and Bettine is blamed.

Because Ophile blows up a child and blames Bettine, the villagers beat Bettine to death and the baby survives, unbeknownst to the others.

Because Bettine is dead and he thinks his son is too, Paris abandons the sisters and goes to the sea and Ophile kills herself (also because of the haunting).



Because Ophile kills herself, Clothide is alone.

Because Clothilde is alone she is able to hear that the baby is alive and gets in touch with him telepathetically.

Because she gets in touch with him, they are reunited.

Because they are reunited, she introduces him to his father.

Because she introduces him to his father, they all move in together to be a family.

Because they move in together to be a family, Clothilde and Paris fall in love.

Because they fall in love they live happily ever after.
