TWO SISTERS, ONE DANGEROUS LIE,
AND A DEVASTATING TRUTH.
Joan, once a singing star of the 1940s and 1950s, now ekes out a lonely, impoverished existence – until a chance encounter promises a comeback concert and an album. Her sister Kathleen is a successful medical researcher who has been offered the directorship of a prestigious institute in Los Angeles as she contemplates the recent break-up with the love of her life.
Over the years, Joan and Kathleen draw closer together until a figure from Joan’s past threatens everything they’ve built. As the sisters excavate the lies that bind them, a more profound truth threatens to drive them apart.
Mary Chamberlain is the internationally bestselling author of four previous novels: The Mighty Jester, The Dressmaker of Dachau, The Hidden (Oneworld, 2019) and The Forgotten (Oneworld, 2021). She is also the author of non-fiction books on women’s history and Caribbean history, including Fenwomen: A Portrait of Women in an English Village, the first book published by Virago Press. She lives in London with her husband, the political theorist Stein Ringen.
