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

‘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 finally put the past behind her, the 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, the baby, trapped between her increasingly alienated family and her controlling husband, has unearthed the secret behind Richard’s departure… and when she reveals it, the effects are devastating.

Set on the beautiful beaches of the Isle of Wight, The Garnett Girls asks whether children can ever be free of the mistakes their parents make.

Reviews for The Garnett Girls

Praise for The Garnett Girls: 'A Cazalet Chronicles for the twenty-first century. I adored it' Bryony Gordon 'A delicious read - intimate, intricate, immersive - about family relationships, particularly between women, and the inherited baggage that we carry' Rachel Joyce 'Richly drawn, deeply fallible characters in enviable settings. Bad behaviour abounds but so does a clear-eyed understanding of family dynamics' Patrick Gale 'What a gem of a book! I loved the beautiful setting - I could literally smell the salty seaside air. Such an accomplished first novel' Erica James 'Pure pleasure. Indulgent, escapist and gorgeously atmospheric . . . a sweeping saga of family secrets, glamour and betrayal' Emmma Stonex 'I fell completely and utterly in love with The Garnett Girls. Beautifully written, with an idyllic setting, fascinating characters and tangled family relationships, this debut is a gorgeous and compelling read' Jill Mansell 'Brings this enchanting, maddening, wounded family to life with flair, wit and great kindness. A pleasure to read' Susie Boyt 'A deft, evocative storyteller' Sheila O'Flanagan 'A slice of pure escapism' Harriet Tyce 'Written with skill and passion . . . what a debut!' Elizabeth Buchan 'An elegant page-turner' Julie Owen Moylan 'Sublime writing, deep deep emotion and characters you won't want to let go . . . Heavenly!' Veronica Henry 'A gorgeous evocative tale of love and loss and healing' Liz Fenwick 'A beautiful, faded family home, a large messy family that's full of secrets and misunderstandings, characters that are so alive and complex and fascinating . . . A fabulous debut' Fanny Blake 'This novel has it all: wonderful contemporary characters . . . fraught family relationships, love in all its forms, and at its core, a destructive family secret. I loved every minute' Marika Cobbold
