The Favourite

£17 · Offered by Goldsboro Books · No longer available

Nothing derails a family holiday like your dad revealing he has a favourite child. Alex, Nancy and Eva Fisher. Three grown-up sisters; each wonderful and imperfect in their own individual ways. And loved equally by their parents, Vivienne and Patrick. Or so they thought. Right up to the moment when, during a family party, Patrick inadvertently lets slip that he has a favourite. While they try to gloss over it, this sets in motion the unravelling of everything the sisters thought they knew. As their past is re-written, secrets and lies are uncovered, and the Fisher clan implodes in a way they could never have dreamed possible. But will it take falling apart to bring them closer together? From the New York Times bestselling author of Amazing Grace Adams comes a witty, tender portrait of a family’s highs and lows over the years, examining how all siblings are equal – but some are more equal than others. 'FABULOUS . . . God, I wish I had written it. Funny, dark, fascinating and UTTERLY convincing. On my QWJ (Queasy With Jealousy) Scale, I award it 16/10.' MARIAN KEYES 'Once I picked up The Favourite , I did not want to put it down until the last page was turned.' LOTTIE HAZELL, author of Piglet ‘Wonderful and very funny. You're in for such a treat.’ GEORGINA MOORE, author of The Garnett Girls 'So sharp, funny, pacey and incredibly well-observed. I loved it.' REBECCA WAIT, author of I'm Sorry You Feel That Way 'Fabulous - funny and brilliantly claustrophobic on family dynamics.' L
