Synopsis

A wonderfully warm and witty debut novel about family secrets and sibling rivalry. The four MacLeod sisters are no strangers to sisterly rivalry and with one of them about to be married, there are bound to be fireworks. Perfectionist Natalie wants the 'wedding of the year'. Harassed mother, Milly, just wishes her bridesmaid's dress wasn't the size of a tent. Career-obsessed Avril secretly moons over a married man and world traveler, Hazel, the youngest, yearns to be taken seriously. Forced together for the first time in years, and with an unexpected guest stirring up old resentments, squabbles are inevitable. But when tragedy strikes things really fly apart - as some shocking skeletons emerge rattling from the crowded MacLeod closet... Editorial Reviews 'Makes sibling rivalry funny.' Cosmopolitan 'A rollicking read, ' Carol Smith, author of Twilight Hour. 'A cracking book with the entangled plot developing at great speed, one of the best in this area.' BOOKSELLER 'Ellie Campbell's infectious sense of fun is immensely cheering. Her stories are a gorgeous blend of memorable characters, plot-twisting treats and heart-warming nostalgia.
