AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Louise and Marie are twin sisters.They've always been close, but now Marie is on the brink of huge success as a children's author, and people are asking her if she's the next Harry Potter. Attending the launch party for the book, Louise can't help feeling a stab of - what? Not jealousy, exactly, more irritation at her own situation: divorced, and drifting. Her relationship with her ex-husband, Joe, is cordial enough but wary - though she can't avoid him: he's still part of the family as far as everyone else is concerned. Then there are the unwelcome stirrings that Marie's rakishly handsome husband, Leif, spark within her... With characteristic insight, Jon Cleary weaves a page-turning story of deception, jealousy, ambition -- and love. Is any sacrifice too great to keep a family together? (Publisher's blurb).
