The Golden Sister

A twin sister's death, a lost child, a coastal community that's not always close-knit - introducing the book that will warm your soul as it breaks your heart.
Lili Berry is busy curating a life for herself in the charming coastal village of Swanning, before the death of her twin sister, Honey, upends everything.
A devastated Lili sets out to discover the cause of Honey's death, finding relief from her raw grief amid a flurry of investigative activity.
Pete, a cultivated man who seems to live on the streets, has his own tragedy to bear: the disappearance of his little boy fifteen years ago.
When Lili learns Pete was the one who found her sister's body, the two of them plunge head-first into a web of secrets and lies, before emerging to confront the shocking truth.
Achingly funny and heartbreakingly sad, The Golden Sister celebrates the intensity of families, the solace of unexpected friendships and the all-consuming messiness of love.
