Cassie is slender, clever, charismatic, successful. The one flaw in her perfect life may be her marriage. Her sister Lizbet is plumper, plainer, dreamier. An aspiring journalist, she?s stuck writing embarrassing articles on sex for Ladz Mag. Her one achievement is her relationship with Tim, who thinks she?s amusing and smart. Despite Cassie being the favored child, she and Lizbet have always been best friends. But then Lizbet gets pregnant.
Forced apart by mistakes not their own, enticed by new loves, and confronted by challenges they never asked for, Cassie and Lizbet struggle to rediscover the simple goodness of their sisterhood, even as their lives take them on a collision course of heartache and new beginnings.
A Tale of Two Sisters is Anna Maxted at her best?a highly entertaining yet deeply involving story of sisters who lose their way and need each other to find themselves again..
Maxted succeeds in capturing the ways people can talk past each other and miss connections with even those they need most in the world. . . . [She has a] sure grasp of intimate relationships. (The New York Times Book Review)
