I always knew what would happen to Lexi and whilst her journey is tough and heart wrenching, I also wanted it to be a story about hope and the unity of a perfectly flawed, close, average family. I think the best compliment I can ever have is when a reader says they felt my book was like holding a mirror to their own life.

Set in Salcombe, Devon, Cathy immediately pulls you into the story of Liz, who longs for visits from her goddaughters; Clare, a fiercely independent single mother; and Skye, a free-spirited young woman harbouring secrets. Aaaaaaagh! I don’t like choosing! …but if pressed, I would have to say Clover’s Child. It is set in 1960’s London and I loved spending time in that era, plus it takes place in my Nan’s house so it feels familiar. The heroine Dot is one of my favourites and the story is probably the best example of the old adage; “you can never tell anyone’s story by looking at them”. Reading a Cathy Bramley novel is like having a chat with your best friend over a glass of wine and a great big slice of your favourite cake and The Sunrise Sisterhood is definitely no exception. A book that had me laughing out loud and sobbing my heart out, The Sunrise Sisterhood is a spellbinding tale about forgiveness, belonging, second chances and love I couldn’t bear to put down.

I adored getting to know these women better as well as finding out what they are hiding. When Clare and her half sister Skye turn up at Liz’s house to spend the summer, things are off to a frosty start. There is a lot of history between them with both having very different up bringing’s which has created a lot of tension and jealousy over the years. It was heart-warming to see that due to certain events, things start to thaw and all three women start to open up and allow the others in. This book is full of secrets and jealousies that have threatened to ruin relationships and families. It seems that even the younger of the characters are continuing in that vain. By bringing all these women together with their emotional baggage, something has to come to a head during this particular summer in Salcombe.Competition closes at 11.59pm on May 27, 2023 (the “Closing Date”).
