The holidays are here, and in Salcombe, Liz longs for the arrival of her god-daughters, Skye and Clare and Clare's daughter baby Ivy. After years on her own, she needs help to save the catering business she built with Clare's late mother, Jen.
However, half-sisters Skye and Clare couldn't be more different, struggling with family secrets and hidden jealousies. As the women navigate this unexpected summer together, truths are revealed and their relationships are put to the test.
The Sunrise Sisterhood is Cathy Bramley’s latest release
where she introduces us to half-sisters Claire and Skye and their godmother Liz.
The sisters are far from close and Liz is about to find herself in the middle
of them for the Summer, she is looking forward to having their company after
the death of her best friend ( Claire’s mum ) but it is set to be a tough few
weeks.
The three women each have their own secrets and struggles
that they are keeping under wraps but as the storyline develops and the
relationships begin to improve they find themselves thrown into situations where
each of their secrets come to light but can they let each other in to help and
support them?
This novel really focuses on relationships especially
between siblings from broken families and the effects they can at times, have
on their lives even into adulthood. The author really goes into great depths to
show how feeling like you are not as good or as loved as your sibling can shape
your life and that sometimes you can’t see things from the other persons point
of view too.
I loved all three of our characters and their personalities
were all so different so they all brought something different to the storyline.
With the chapters all alternating between each of the women we really get to
know each of them in turn and also get to see how some things from both sides
of the coin so to speak.
The author explores numerous life struggles from grief to
deception but the book didn’t feel too heavy it still had a lightness to it
thanks to the sprinkling of complicated romances and the slow blossoming relationships
building between the sisters and a bucket load of the lovely little Ivy to keep
us smiling away. The author has clearly poured her heart and soul into these
characters as they all felt so life like and there was a lot of emotion felt
through the pages through every challenge or revelation they faced.
Set in the Summer time in Salcombe there is a real beachy holiday
vibe so this is the perfect novel to keep you company on your holiday this
year.
