The Sisters by Claire Douglas

When Abi is offered the chance of a new life, she hopes it will fill the gap left by the death of her twin, but will it give her that?

A strange little book, crammed with notes written by flatmates with witty and irreverent discussion of and conjecture about, their contents

A story of a man who withdraws himself from life after the death of his wife, told with acerbic wit and unreserved intelligence

A wake-up call, raising awareness of the truly wonderful creatures which inhabit our wonderful world and how unlikely they are to thrive

A nice story, nothing too demanding about a woman escaping a controlling mother to live a life of her own independently

Imagine if you could travel back in time with ease and interact with Ulysses S. Grant – Donna Balon’s heroine does just this

A novel based on history and “The Last Duchess”, a poem by Robert Browning – intense and dark, and highly evocative of Renaissance Italy

A novel about a man investigating the murder of his sister but also about opening his mind to that which cannot easily be explained…

A tough read but not because of the writing, but the subject matter – a tale of schoolboys, friendship and the experiences that shape us

An interesting memoir from childhood to motherhood, relating a tale of tumultuous relationships but also filled with love in its many forms
