 Book Excerpt:

"In this brilliant debut novel full of heart and warmth, three sisters and their free-spirited mother must grapple with life, responsibilities, and family secrets.

"Gorgeously written and utterly absorbing…a rare and wonderful delight." — Lucy Foley, New York Times bestselling author

Love makes you do things you never thought you were capable of…

Forbidden, passionate, and all-encompassing, Margo and Richard's love affair was the stuff of legend—but, ultimately, doomed.

When Richard walked out, Margo locked herself away, leaving her three daughters, Rachel, Imogen, and Sasha, to run wild.

Years later, charismatic Margo entertains lovers and friends in her cottage on the Isle of Wight, refusing to ever speak of Richard and her painful past. But her silence keeps each of the Garnett girls from finding true happiness.

Rachel is desperate to return to London but is held hostage by responsibility for Sandcove, their beloved but crumbling family home.

Dreamy Imogen feels pressured to marry her kind, considerate fiancé, even when life takes an unexpected turn.

And wild, passionate Sasha, trapped between her fractured family and controlling husband, is weighed down by a secret that could shake the family to its core…

The Garnett Girls, the captivating debut novel from Georgina Moore, asks whether children can ever be free of the mistakes of their parents."

Review:

"The Garnett Girls" by Georgina Moore

My Sentiments:  

'The Garnett Girls' came from a dysfunctional family where we find that the parents, Margo & Richard, had split up the three girls... Rachel, Imogen, and Sasha were quite a hand full. The story tells the reader about their miserable lives as they grew up. I'm not sure who I felt sorrier for...the Mom or the sisters with their husbands. I did not even enjoy the read in the beginning, with all the messiness that was going on with the family members and some other characters from the read; only if they would talk to each other! But I continued reading, hoping to get something from each of their particular stories.

However, these situations these girls endured go on in many families, and there may be a lesson for each of these girls' concerns that they went through along with their husbands and mother. By the end of the read, one is asking whether children can ever be free of the mistakes of their parents.

If it's drama you want, you have definitely come to the right place because 'The Garnett Girls' will give it all to you.
