About River of Stars
Beautifully written, featuring a cast of magnetic characters, River of Stars is the captivating new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Garnett Girls.
Steeped in Bohemia and music legend, Walnut Tree Island is home to a thriving community of artists and musicians. It is where teenager Mary Star once caught the eye of a rock star about to hit the big time, only to be left with a new baby and a broken heart.
Years later, Mary lives on the houseboat where she raised her daughter and her granddaughter, Jo. But now one of the island's prodigal sons has returned. Oliver Greenwood has inherited Walnut Tree, and changes are coming.
Jo hasn't seen Oliver since that glorious, life-changing summer when their idyllic island paradise was shattered. And while the islanders are thrown into a frenzy of speculation over their futures, Oliver's return has opened the wounds of a love she had thought was lost forever…
About The Favourite
'FABULOUS. God, I wish I had written it. Funny, dark, fascinating and UTTERLY convincing. On my QWJ (Queasy With Jealousy) Scale, I award it 16/10.' - MARIAN KEYES
Nothing derails a family holiday like your dad revealing he has a favourite child.
Alex, Nancy and Eva Fisher. Three grown-up sisters; each wonderful and imperfect in their own individual ways. And loved equally by their parents, Vivienne and Patrick.
Or so they thought.
Right up to the moment when, during a family party, Patrick inadvertently lets slip that he has a favourite. While they try to gloss over it, this sets in motion the unravelling of everything the sisters thought they knew. As their past is re-written, secrets and lies are uncovered, and the Fisher clan implodes in a way they could never have dreamed possible.
But will it take falling apart to bring them closer together?
From the New York Times bestselling author of Amazing Grace Adams comes a witty, tender portrait of a family’s highs and lows over the years, examining how all siblings are equal – but some are more equal than others.
