A brilliant debut and powerful tale of sisterhood and home, set on the beautiful beaches of the Isle of Wight… 'A rare and wonderful delight’ Lucy Foley ‘I adored it’ Bryony Gordon ‘A delicious read – intimate, intricate, immersive’ Rachel Joyce ‘Utterly beautiful… truly wise’ Joanna Cannon ‘Love makes you do things you never thought you were capable of.’ Margo and Richard’s love affair was the stuff legends are made of – forbidden, passionate, all-encompassing. But ultimately, doomed. When Richard walked out, Margo shut herself away from the world, leaving her three daughters, Rachel, Imogen and Sasha, to run wild. Having put the past behind her, charismatic Margo holds court in her cottage on the Isle of Wight, refusing to ever speak of Richard. But her silence is keeping each of the Garnett girls from finding true happiness. The eldest, Rachel, is desperate to return to London, but is held hostage by responsibility for Sandcove, their beloved but crumbling family home. Imogen, the dreamy middle child, feels the pressure to marry her kind, considerate fiancé, even when her life is taking an unexpected turn. And wild, passionate Sasha, trapped between her increasingly divided sisters and her controlling husband, is weighed down by a secret that could shake the family to its core… The Garnett Girls is the stunning debut from Georgina Moore, asking whether children can ever be free of the mistakes of their parents.
