Klappentext
*PRE-ORDER* the unmissable new novel from Fran Littlewood, the New York Times bestselling author of Read With Jenna pick Amazing Grace Adams: a story of three grown sisters, whose father - in a moment of crisis - accidentally lets slip that he has a favourite daughter...'Fran Littlewood is an expert chronicler of family dynamics . . . 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
'Littlewood writes like a wilder, more breathless Claire Lombardo . . . Set over the course of a family reunion that goes very wrong, The Favourite is a layered, textured story about the reverberations of the past and secrets in a family. Wonderful and very funny. I LOVED it.'
GEORGINA MOORE, author of The Garnett Girls
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.
When a near-disaster strikes during a family party, Patrick accidentally lets slip that he has a favourite daughter. And while they try to gloss over it, this almost-accident begins the unravelling of everything the sisters thought they knew. As their past is re-examined, secrets and lies are uncovered, and, slowly, the close-knit Fisher clan starts to implode in a way they could never have dreamed possible.
Set over a single week's holiday, The Favourite is a witty, tender, sharply observed portrait of the highs and lows that shape a family over the decades. A story about rivalries and regret and blame, about memory and identity, and above all, about love - at its messiest and most joyous.
