Bestseller
International bestseller
"You'll be laughing out loud one minute and crying the next."
Cosmopolitan
"Family members click and clash in this entertaining story with a poignant twist."
The Australian Women's Weekly
An unforgettable story of three generations of women from the bestselling author of Upside Down Inside Out.
Anna, Bett and Carrie Quinlan were childhood singing stars, The Alphabet Sisters. As adults they haven't spoken for years, ever since Bett's fiancé left her for another sister. Now Lola, their larger-than-life grandmother, summons them home for her 80th birthday extravaganza and a surprise announcement - she wants them to revive their singing careers and stage a musical she has written. Rehearsals get underway, and family secrets begin to be shared and revealed. But just as the rifts begin to close, The Alphabet Sisters face a test they never imagined.
"A gentle and life-affirming story. We come away feeling better about the world and, maybe, just a little more tender towards those close to us."
The Age
"Tender and well-observed ... there is also plenty of McInerney's trademark wit, but have the hankies ready for this, probably her best novel yet."
The Irish Independent
