‘A real tear-jerker’ THE SUN

‘A stunning read’ MIRANDA DICKINSON

For a decade, Hannah’s life has been pretty close to perfect – she has a great job, she’s married to Mark, and her child-free existence means she’s free as a bird. The only sadness in her life is a fall-out with her sister Diane, who hasn’t spoken to her in over ten years. But now Diane is on her doorstep – and this time, she’s got her teenage daughter Mia in tow.

When Diane asks if Mia can stay with Hannah and Mark for a few days, Hannah is glad of the chance to get to know her niece. But as the days turn into weeks and Diane doesn’t return, Hannah begins to worry. Why hasn’t her sister been in touch?

Diane is carrying a devastating secret that will destroy Hannah’s carefully constructed life. But how much is she willing to reveal – and when will she pick her moment?

An emotional story that delves into the true meaning of family, sisterhood and secrets. Perfect for fans of Kerry Fisher and Adele Parks.

Easy reading and listening on Audible

I'm 66 and reading books is possible with Audible and it's now a big enjoyment. Thank you for a wonderful narrative and an easy read. It's a good book and I'm happy it had a wonderful ending apart from the horrific beginning. Best to 'Mia'

Slow

This book seemed to be drawn out. Once I speeded the reading to 1.5, I enjoyed it more.

Way sadder than I expected.

I will def read another by this author but the story was heartbreaking. Writing excellent.

Excellent

Excellent book. It hit every emotion. I cried, laughed and then cried again. Loved it

Brilliant

I could not put this book down. I listened right through the night and then some. Well done!!!

A Great Read

I enjoyed listening to this book, although a little hard to follow in the beginning. The author skips around in time quite a bit, so very important to pay attention.
Kept my interest. I wanted to keep listening.

Can't say too much without giving it away!

Well written and well read, this story keeps you guessing until the end. Part ethical dilemma, part mystery, part character study, you laugh and cry and try to figure out what the sister is lying about... and yes, we do eventually find out!

Intriguing story

Loved this story!it kept me wanting to hear more throughout the whole book! The narrator did a great job.

A beautiful story, a must read.

A beautiful story, that embraces both the pain of losing someone so important in your life, as well as the strength that helps you get through this, and the relationships that support you on your journey. The author makes no attempt to hide the imperfections of people who affect our lives, but gives us hope that we can survive nearly anything. The strength of family and connectedness makes our lives work, no matter how our family is formed.
I strongly recommend this book, it's the kind that you can't wait to pick up where you left off, and where you feel sadness when it ends. Looking forward to reading more books by this author. The narrator is superb and a perfect fit for this story.

My Sister’s Lies

It really enjoyed it for the most part. I just felt like it dragged in a few part.
