| book description |

‘Gorgeous and sad and gripping and moving’ Marian Keyes ‘Brilliant … so vivid you feel like you’re remembering the events yourself’ The Times ‘I am telling everyone about it ... A triumph’ Rachel Joyce ‘A subtle, clever, evocative book’ Joanna Quinn, Guardian ‘I'm stricken with love for this book’ Meg Mason ‘Exposes the sisterly bond – messy, mistake strewn and quietly marvellous – with tender charm’ Mail on Sunday ‘Frank, tender and unequivocal … I loved it’ Miranda Cowley Heller ‘Delicate and profound – about how relationships bind us together and pull us apart’ Tracy Chevalier ‘Spare, moving and beautifully written’ Jojo Moyes The quandary of the younger sister – what to do when it had already been done… For as long as Lucy can remember, she’s been caught between loyalty to her rootless, idealistic mother and devotion to her fierce and exacting sister, Bea. But as the sisters come of age and embark on their own experiments – in love, drugs, work, motherhood – they find their lives, and their relationships, increasingly in turmoil. Can their love for each other transcend the damages of the past? Readers love My Sister and Other Lovers ‘Gorgeously sad ... a beautiful and at times desperately painful voyage into maturity‘ ‘A beautiful book ... There is so much yearning and wisdom within its pages‘ ‘One of my very favorite writers ever - as soon as I finished this I thought I want to read it again‘
