Description
'Oh, you're not crazy, Denise. I think this is probably the sanest you've ever been...'
Two women. An open road. The trip of a lifetime.
Thea is confident, sorted, determined to have fun, but there are sorrows beneath the surface of her life.
Denise is struggling under the weight of her many commitments and in desperate need of some excitement.
When these polar opposites meet, and unexpectedly become friends, they realise they're both looking to escape.
So begins a road trip that leads them far from home and yet closer to their true selves.
But they can't outrun their pasts forever and when things start to become complicated, both women have an important decision to make. Do they give up or keep going? Turn around or drive on?

Reviews / Votes
Sharply observed and empathetic, many women will see themselves in this excellent novel * Elizabeth Buchan * Compassionate, wry and packed with acute observations on human behaviour. Like wrapping yourself in a warm shawl. -- Charity Norman Absolutely captures the challenges of being a certain age - the characters jump off the page! * Sam Blake * There is a raw realism to all of Caroline Bond's novels ... Redemptive and satisfying -- Carol Mason on 'The Legacy' Caroline Bond has a gift for weaving heart-rending tales of impossible decisions and The Forgotten Sister is no exception. A beautifully written story that will stay with me for quite some time. -- Amanda Brooke on 'The Forgotten Sister' A deftly written novel [and] a moving exploration of love between sisters and the tangled, often complex emotions that exist in families. -- Madeleine Reiss on 'The Forgotten Sister'More details
