A Sister's Promise by Pam Weaver

Raised in the grandeur of Muntham Court, young Millicent has always felt like the black sheep of her family. Between a vindictive mother and a conceited older sister, her only ally is her doting father, Charles.

Brought up in the traveller community and always on the move, Lena’s life has never been settled, but it has always been happy thanks to the support of her loving mother.

A great read by this author . I really enjoyed the plot of this book and the way the story of the characters and their place in life are intertwined.

A Sister's Promise by Pam Weaver is a family saga set in the 1930's.
Sisters Pearl and Milly live at Muntham Court with their parents. Milly has a strained relationship with Pearl and her mother but has a strong ally in her father Charles. We are then introduced to Lena, an illegitimate daughter of Charles. Lena's background is very different but she soon develops a strong bond with Milly.
My main issue is with the dialogue, in particular the inconsistent dropping of aitches often in the same sentence. Sometimes Lena (and others) speak standard English e.g. 'We've come to live here for a while' and then say 'Ave you 'eard of 'im?' 'Can I 'old him?'
Otherwise, this is an engaging, easy to read story with references to historical events which add interest.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an arc. All opinions are my own.

A sisters promise, I found this very slow to start, but once I got into it I couldn’t put it down. A great story of 2 sisters and their struggle to fit in. Milly is the daughter of Charles a loving father and Agatha an unloving mother, Lena is the illegitimate daughter of Charles. The story follows them growing up, facing many struggles and obstacles but their love for each other gets them through everything. A great story and I hope there’s a 2nd book on the way.
