In this brilliant debut novel full of heart and warmth, three very different sisters—and their free-spirited mother—must grapple with life, responsibilities, and family secrets.

"Gorgeously written and utterly absorbing...a rare and wonderful delight." — Lucy Foley, New York Times bestselling author


Love makes you do things you never thought you were capable of...

Forbidden, passionate and all-encompassing, Margo and Richard's love affair was the stuff of legend—but, ultimately, doomed.

When Richard walked out, Margo locked herself away, leaving her three daughters, Rachel, Imogen, and Sasha, to run wild.

Years later, charismatic Margo entertains lovers and friends in her cottage on the Isle of Wight, refusing to ever speak of Richard and her painful past. But her silence is keeping each of the Garnett girls from finding true happiness.

Rachel is desperate to return to London but is held hostage by responsibility for Sandcove, their beloved but crumbling family home.

Dreamy Imogen feels the pressure to marry her kind, considerate fiancé, even when life is taking an unexpected turn.

And wild, passionate Sasha, trapped between her fractured family and controlling husband, is weighed down by a secret that could shake the family to its core...

The Garnett Girls, the captivating debut novel from Georgina Moore, asks whether children can ever be free of the mistakes of their parents.

      DEBUT In her character-driven debut, Moore explores the complexities and complications in familial relationships and how the roles they play with each other can echo throughout. Years ago Margot and Richard fell in love and ran away to be married, against her family's wishes. They are passionately in love and soon have three daughters, Rachel, Imogen, and Sasha. But the realities of marriage and family take a toll. Richard soon turns to alcohol and then abandons his family. His desertion has lasting impact and reverberates for years--though his name is never mentioned. The dysfunction of their childhood follows the girls into adulthood, and though they each have some success in their professional lives, their emotional lives are a mess, with their partners, with their mother, and with each other. As they all return to their childhood home, Sandcove on the Isle of Wight, family secrets come to light, and they may at last find some healing. VERDICT Moore immerses her readers in the lives of the Garnett women, and their sometimes painful growth feels well-earned. For readers of Elizabeth Berg and Jane Green.--Jane Jorgenson
