Description
Bloomsbury presents My Sister and Other Lovers, written and read by Esther Freud.
A captivating coming-of-age novel about love, sisterhood, secrets and betrayal
____________________________________________________
From the author of Hideous Kinky comes a captivating novel about sisterhood, secrets, betrayal and love.
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. From her unsettled childhood to her turbulent teenage years, she’s been forced to make a choice.
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 the love they have for each other transcend the damage of the past? Or is the past too dangerous to examine?

This was my first audio book and will probably be my last, because surely the only way from here is down?
I loved this book. Loved the story, the narration, the way it tied together the threads of seemingly unrelated incidents. The sisters were powerfully relatable to me, as one of a tempestuous pair myself, and still manage to be hilarious in the darkest of moments.
I have read Hideous Kinky but so long ago I can't remember it well, but that doesn't matter- this story stands strongly on its own.
