Description

A sister's death, a lost child, a coastal community that's not always close-knit - this is the best new Australian fiction you'll read this year. Lili Berry is busy curating a tidy life for herself in the charming coastal village of Swanning, before the death of her beautiful sister, Honey, upends everything. A shocked 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 deny: the disappearance of his little boy fifteen years ago. When Lili learns Pete was the one who found her sister's body, she trades beer for swimming lessons and plunges head-first into a web of secrets and lies, before emerging to confront the truth. Achingly funny and heartbreakingly sad, The Golden Sister celebrates the intensity of families, the solace of strangers, and the unparalleled power of love.
