'No one gets to the heart of human relationships quite so perceptively as Brookfield.' The Mirror
Ever since the death of their father twenty years before, beautiful thirty-two-year-old Anna has acted as her younger sister Becky's support, playing the peace-maker in her stormy relationship with their mother, and counselling her through the traumas of a life that has always appeared charmless and problematic in comparison to her own.
Now married to wealthy, handsome David Lawrence, with a luxurious country home and a successful career in broadcasting, Anna's good fortune looks set to continue. But when she unexpectedly falls pregnant and Becky's marriage runs into trouble, the door to the sisters past suddenly swings open, exploding all their long-held perceptions both of each other and themselves.
Perfect for fans of Erica James, Elizabeth Noble, Joanna Trollope and Anita Shreve, Amanda Brookfield gets to the heart of what it means to be a family and the power of sibling love.
