'I adored it' JULIE HAWORTH'Witty, well-observed and utterly charming' SOPHIE COUSENS'Funny, tender and insightful' ERICKA WALLERTwo sisters, one absent father and a grand inheritance . . .

Maggie and Liz may be sisters, but that's about all they have in common. Maggie is a free spirit - travelling the world, flitting through life and relationships without ever really having to connect. Liz, meanwhile, is at the centre of Little Martin village society and determined to be the perfect wife, mother and homemaker - even if she does live in a new build.

When Liz and Maggie's beloved grandmother, Queen Vic, dies in a characteristically dramatic fashion, they are left to deal with the aftermath - inheriting the family Manor, as well as full responsibility for their profligate father, a notorious womaniser who causes trouble wherever he goes.

Maggie and Liz have been living separate lives for years - but now might finally be the time to put their differences behind them.

'A joyous read' ANNIE LYONS
