Commitment-phobic Coco adores running her vintage dress shop - but since a disastrous break-up, her love life's become an antique. Their

fate has a few surprises in store as the past makes a sudden appearance
in the present . . .
I don’t think I’ve ever read one of Cathy Kelly’s novels before… I know, where have I been??
If I have it was years before I decided to bore you all senseless with my own thoughts about other peoples novels!!
Between sisters is a lovely novel about tested marriages, friendships and those oh so complicated family relationships that we all have deep inside of our own families but would deny outright to any outsider...
Between sisters is ultimately the story of Coco and Cassie Kenneally, abandoned by their Mother at a young age, both are now grown up; Coco a successful business woman with a beautiful vintage fashion shop and Cassie happily married with a family of her own; husband Shay, and daughters Lily and Beth.
But Cassie is afraid that Shay is going to abandon the family home for his Mother who is so dreadfully demanding since the death of her husband, Shay’s father.
