Description

From the bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Claire - a model daughter, an imaginative teacher, as clear and legible as her handwriting.

Laura - a student, a beauty, as vital and rebellious as her parents could ever have feared for.

As children they had shared everything - so much so that later, neither sister could quite remember to which one of them some long-distant adventure had happened. Far from the leafy respectability of Harrow where they grew up, each is now going her distinctly separate way in this warm, funny and poignant coming-of-age novel.
