About this listen

Joan, once a singing star of the 1940s and 1950s, now ekes out a lonely, impoverished existence—until a chance encounter promises a comeback concert and an album.

Her sister Kathleen is a successful medical researcher who has been offered the directorship of a prestige institute in Los Angeles in her retirement but is facing divorce after her husband's affair.

In their old age, Joan and Kathleen draw closer together. Until a figure from Joan's past threatens everything they've built. As the sisters excavate the lies that bound them together, a more profound truth threatens to drive them apart.

Set in three time frames, the novel unravels the sisters' lives as choices past and present collide.

Not as enjoyable as other novels but does write a good insight to a female perspective Always strong characters but the storyline was perhaps a bit weaker Narrated well
