"Three sisters, a family home steeped in memories and decades of secrets and hurt are bound together in this gorgeous family drama set in coastal Ireland. "
Love, loss and sibling rivalries run deep in Faith Hogan’s heartfelt new novel that sees three estranged sisters begrudgingly reunited to fulfil their father’s final wish. Growing up in the idyllic village of Ballycove, Georgie, Iris and Nola are inseparable until a tragic turn of events leaves the sisters reeling – and their special bond broken. When they’re forced to spend six months back in their childhood home years later, old wounds are reopened and the truth about the intervening years brings about startling discoveries … but also the chance for reconciliation. Hogan writes with such warmth and conviction, it’s impossible not to find yourself swept up and dropped at the centre of the Gin sisters’ world from the get-go. There’s so much drama and heartache to untangle in each of their lives, but it’s all managed masterfully with some perfectly paced storytelling and the right touch of humour and romance to counteract the bleaker moments. The village and residents of Ballycove take on their own characterful presence as the novel unfolds too – you can almost smell the salt in the air and feel the sea breeze whistling through your bones as Georgie, Iris and Nola reconnect with the place they once called home. The Gin Sisters’ Promise is a gentle read, but also one full of messages that strike a chord: always be true to yourself and your heart; be prepared to take a leap of faith from time to time; and old wounds are often healed with love and a bit of patience. A blissful story for sisters, friends, everyone.
