I read this heartwrenching novel in almost one sitting! It's been added to my favourite, emotional reads of the year and I'm so happy to be part of the blog tour today!
Sisters Laura and Penny were once close, bonded together after the early death of their mother. Laura always had her younger sister’s back until one day everything changed and Penny disappeared.
Twenty years later Laura finds herself alone and at a crossroad in her life; questioning her marriage and her future.
Meanwhile Penny has spent her whole life running away from her problems until one day she is forced to stop and face the shocking truth. When Penny turns up on Laura’s doorstep late one stormy night, holding the hand of a shivering little girl, Laura is immediately suspicious of her sister’s motives. Just what does Penny want and who is this little girl?
Penny carries a devastating secret that will test their bond as sisters and is forced to make an impossible choice.
Can the sisters find it within their hearts to forgive and unite before it’s too late?
My Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What exactly makes you a woman? Is it your heart? Your body? Your spirit? This book still has me pondering this question. Would I still feel like a woman if something physical changed? Penny and her little girl Willow live in Australia and when something happens she returns to Ireland to see if her sister Laura remembers a promise they made to each other as kids. Laura has problems of her own to deal with and seeing her estranged sister is a bit of a shock. At first Laura comes across as cold and almost heartless, but quickly steps up and becomes one of favourite characters. The characters were so well developed and even the unlikeable ones at the beginning grew and developed into loveable, unforgettable characters by the end. Lots of pieces hit hard and so close to home and it was an absolute heartbreaking book that had me sobbing into my tea and aching for all the characters in it. So keep your tissues close by! Thank you netgalley and boldwood books for the arc copy in exchange for my honest opinions.
