Giveaway: Her Sister's Shadow by Katharine Britton
Her Sister's Shadow by Katharine Britton, published this month, combines two of my favorite things in a story: Massachusetts and relationships between sisters. And it's from a debut author. According to the synopsis for the book:
"Renowned painter Lilli Niles is at home in her North London flat when she receives an unexpected call from her elder sister, Bea, who's at the family homestead in Whitehead, Massachusetts. Bea's husband has just died, and she'd like Lilli to fly home to attend the funeral. There are reasons Lilli moved all the way to England to escape her older sister, reasons that have kept them estranged for decades. But something in Bea's voice makes Lilli think it's time to return to the stately house in New England she loved as a child, to the memory of the beloved younger sister they both lost. With Bea more fragile than Lilli remembered, maybe she can finally forgive Bea for a long-ago betrayal that has simmered between them for nearly forty years."
Why did Lilli Niles move to London away from her childhood home and her older sister? What was the nature of the betrayal that separated these sisters for forty years?
Publisher's weekly says, "Britton seamless alternates between the two eras to unravel a tale of rivalry, tragedy, love and the corruptibility of truth."
