The Lost Sister

How far would you go to save the sister you never knew you had? Becky’s mother left her family during a disastrous summer beach vacation ten years ago and Becky has had nothing to do with her in the intervening years. Now with her mother on her death-bed, Becky decides to try to bury the past to say goodbye to her mother. Imagine her surprise when she learns she has a sister no one ever told her about and that Becky is the only one who can save her.

Ecellent and powerful storyline with well developed characters throughout the book.
Keeps the reader guessing througout the book,a real page turner,with a startling twist at the end.

Tracy Buchanan does it again!
I have read all of her books and enjoyed them all; The Lost Sister is no exception.

This story follows two perspectives; Selma, who escapes her marriage, leaving young daughter Becky at home with her Dad, and Becky herself in her early 30s, struggling to come to terms with the fact she has a sister she never knew.

This is a beautifully written book, that truly sucks you in. Intriguing, likable and hugely relatable characters plus scenery so gorgeous you can't help but wish you were living alongside them. Amazing work Tracy, I hope plenty of people pick up this amazing book - would be a perfect summer read for those who like mysteries with plenty of twists and turns.

Wow! Tracy has done it again. I have just spent the last few hours totally absorbed in the story of Selma and Becky.
I was lucky enough to receive an arc of this story from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
The story unfolds over 2 time periods, told from Becky’s perspective and from her mother Selma’s.
There were a few occasions where it was a little unclear which character was talking during dialogue scenes but I believe this is due to my copy being an advanced readers copy and I’m sure with final publication these problems will be solved. It certainly didn’t ruin my enjoyment of the story.
I would highly recommend this book

I enjoy Tracy Buchanan's style of writing so was excited to read her latest novel. We are told the story through past and present from Becky and Selma. Selma is Becky's Mum and left her to live with a group of cave dwellers when Becky was eight years old.
Reunited in Selma's last days Becky learns she has a sister, she goes on a journey to find her. All the while we learn Selma's side of the past as she tells her story of leaving Becky as a child and finding her new journey in life.
I found the book easy to keep up with and there was a brilliant twist at the end that I wasn't expecting which tied everything together and answered all my questions.

Amazing book! An absolute page-turner! Had me hooked from the first 3 pages.

I really loved the idea of a community inside a cave, where everyone has their own little slice of peacefulness. I was so saddened by the life and lies that overtook Selma. She seemed such a strong woman, and to have it all change.

Becky turned from a neglected child into a strong willed woman, intent on finding her lost sister.

When I read about baby Catherine, I nearly cried, having to go and hug my three children separately, so touching!!

I will recommend this book and author to many of my friends.

Amazing work again Tracy! Keep it up!!
