The first question people generally ask me about my novel, HER SISTER'S SHADOW, is, "Do you have sisters?" I don't. The story is not autobiographical. It is fictional. Some elements in the story, however, are not.
My mother had sisters and lived in a big house overlooking Sandy Cove on Boston's South Shore. This served as the inspiration for my novel. The rest of the story I culled from my imagi... read more »

Description:
Lilli Niles is at home in her North London flat when she receives an unexpected call. Her elder sister, Bea — at the family homestead in White Head, Massachusetts — has just lost her husband, and she'd like Lilli to fly home for the funeral.
Lilli, a painter, is preparing for her latest gallery opening. And more to the point, there are reasons she moved all the way to England to escape her older sister, reasons that have kept them estranged for decades.
But something in Bea's voice makes Lilli think it's time to return to the stately house in New England she loved as a child, to the memory of a shared loss — and to a time when simple sisterhood was enough to overcome betrayal and resentment.

| A must-read classic. The story of Francie Nolan, whose coming of age mirrors that of the country's in the last century. Beautifully written and shaped. One lives, rather than reads, this book. | |
