The Favourite

*PRE-ORDER* the unmissable new novel from Fran Littlewood, the New York Times bestselling author of Read With Jenna pick Amazing Grace Adams: a story of three grown sisters, whose father - in a moment of crisis - accidentally lets slip that he has a favourite daughter 'Fran Littlewood is an expert chronicler of family dynamics . . . Once I picked up The Favourite, I did not want to put it down until the last page was turned.' LOTTIE HAZELL, author of Piglet Littlewood writes like a wilder, more breathless Claire Lombardo . . . Set over the course of a family reunion that goes very wrong, The Favourite is a layered, textured story about the reverberations of the past and secrets in a family. Wonderful and very funny. I LOVED it. GEORGINA MOORE, author of The Garnett Girls Alex, Nancy and Eva Fisher. Three grown-up sisters; each wonderful and imperfect in their own individual ways. And loved equally by their parents, Vivienne and Patrick. Or so they thought. When a near-disaster strikes during a family party, Patrick inadvertently lets slip that he has a favourite daughter. And while they try to gloss over it, this almost-accident begins the unravelling of everything the sisters thought they knew. As their past is re-examined, secrets and lies are uncovered, and, slowly, the close-knit Fisher clan starts to implode in a way they could never have dreamed possible. Set over a single weeks holiday, The Favourite is a witty, tender, sharply observed portrait of the highs and lows that shape a family over the decades. A story about rivalries and regret and blame, about memory and identity, and above all, about love at its messiest and most joyous. PRAISE FOR AMAZING GRACE ADAMS 'Littlewood writes with ferocity and compassion about . . . the impossibility of spinning all the plates that modern life expects us to manage.
