Description
Three siblings gather to honour their father's final wishes. But will they be united in grief, or divided by their rivalry? From the author of Radio 2 Bookclub pick The Second Child.
A death in the family rarely brings out the best in people - even the deceased ...
Jonathan Coulter planned for his death meticulously, leaving nothing to chance. His will states that his three adult children must decide between them how to dispose of his estate. If they cannot come together over their inheritance, then they risk losing it.
But Liv, Noah and Chloe never agree on anything. And now, with only one weekend to overcome their rivalry, tensions begin to rise.
Why has Jonathan left the decision to them? And why has he made no mention of his new partner, Megan, or the children's mother, Eloise? If he wanted to teach them a lesson from beyond the grave, what is it? And can the siblings put their differences aside for long enough to learn it?
A powerful novel about love and loss, and what we truly pass on to our children.
Advance Praise
'Caroline Bond has done it again. Haunting and nuanced, this is the story of a split second between normality and appalling tragedy, and of what comes next. Bond describes the most desperate moments with empathy and insight. I was utterly bound up in this story, right to the last line.' - Charity Norman on 'One Split Second'
'Caroline Bond has a gift for weaving heart-rending tales of impossible decisions and The Forgotten Sisteris no exception. A beautifully written story that will stay with me for quite some time. Would I have made the same choices?' - Amanda Brooke on 'The Forgotten Sister'
'Accomplished and deeply affecting, The Forgotten Sister examines how perilous secrets can be in families, and yet how some bonds are almost impossible to break. It really resonated with me.' - Carol Mason on 'The Forgotten Sister'
'A deftly written novel [and] a moving exploration of love between sisters and the tangled, often complex emotions that exist in families.' - Madeleine Reiss on 'The Forgotten Sister'
