From the New York Times best-selling author of The Family Next Door and The Mother-in-Law with new novel The Younger Wife out now.

Fern Castle works in her local library. She has dinner with her twin sister Rose three nights a week. And she avoids crowds, bright lights and loud noises as much as possible. Fern has a carefully structured life and disrupting her routine can be...dangerous.

When Rose discovers that she cannot fall pregnant, Fern sees her chance to pay her sister back for everything Rose has done for her. Fern can have a baby for Rose. She just needs to find a father. Simple.

Fern's mission will shake the foundations of the life she has carefully built for herself and stir up dark secrets from the past, in this quirky, rich and shocking story of unexpected love.

Winner of the Davitt Awards Adult Fiction 2021.

wow !

Reviewed in Australia on 8 January 2022

I’ve enjoyed other books by Sally Hepworth but for some reason resisted reading this one as soon as it was published . I’m glad that changed ! This book is a mix between The Rosie Project , Eleanor Oliphont and Gone Girl and I loved every page of it!

Fern and Rose are fraternal twins . Fern is nuero diverse and tells the story in the present . Rose is unable to have a child of her own when Fern realises this a chain of events occurs and the story unfolds . We hear Rose’s story in retrospective in journal form .

It is a really great book by a wonderful Australian author . Highly recommend !

The Good Sister was such a good book that it ruined my week.

Reviewed in Australia on 10 December 2020

I started to read, The Good Sister on a Sunday. On that day, I was supposed to do the weekly shop, meal prep and generally get ready for the hectic week ahead. Oops, that didn't happen, I was too busy reading.

I loved the characters so much that I couldn't put the book down, they intrigued me, I couldn't stop, I had to go on.

Knowing this, the author really should offer meal solutions along with her book.

Original and insightful novel about the complexities of sibling relationships

Reviewed in Australia on 22 August 2021

Verified Purchase

A very original and clever story about the complex and contradictory relationship between two sisters, one of whom is on the autism spectrum. The novel skilfully demonstrates how positive qualities such as concern, care and support can also have their darker side resulting in a relationship that is controlling, manipulative and self-serving. All the characters were beautifully drawn, engaging and believable and I had my fingers crossed for Fern, the sister with autism, hoping all would end well.

I loved this book and found myself totally engaged and fascinated. The characters were so well developed and credible, and the plot perfectly constructed I had to stay up until 3am to finish. (I also loved the Bayside Library and want to go there...)

Loved this book from the beginning. Sally Hepworth writes a wonderful story that twists and turns and has unexpected outcomes. Rose is a character that you first admire and then pity, while Fern grows and finds her true abilities and strengths. Perhaps if we were all a little less neurotypical and a little more neurodiverse the world may be a better place.

One of the best books I’ve read this year. Love Sally Hepworth, and somehow she keeps outdoing herself. I love the character of Fern, who is a bit Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine crossed with The Rosie Project, but even more loveable. This is a gripping family drama that had me up way too late because I couldn’t put it down.

A book I shall remember for a long long time.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 May 2021

From the very first line, right up until the last sentence I was mesmerized by this book. It is written so thoughtfully and tenderly that I didn't want it to end.
I was torn between both sisters not quite knowing which one to feel sad for the most.
I despised the mother and then I saw another side to her.
This is the first Sally Hepworth book I have ever read but it definitely won't be the last.
What a great book.

Who is The Good Sister?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 October 2021

Verified Purchase

This was my first Sally Hepworth novel and I really enjoyed it. The characters were some of the best I've read, with the twins at the centre of the story - Fern and Rose - juxtaposed for maximum effect.

There were definite 'Gone Girl' vibes about this one, with half of the novel narrated directly by Fern and the other half via Rose's diary. Everything you think you know in the first half begins to unravel in the second, at the perfect pace - slow enough that it feels insidious, but never so slow that it gets boring.

I found The Good Sister to be insightful, clever, dark and delicious. It's very easy to read and I flew through it much faster than I expected. I've only awarded four stars because it didn't make me fly back to Amazon to buy another Sally Hepworth book, simply because of personal taste - but it was very good.

A good read, but...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 June 2021

Verified Purchase

Very enjoyable, whizzed through it in a day.

To the author - and presumably the editor too - there is *no similarity* between narcissism and borderline personality disorder. Do you actually know what borderline personality disorder is? I was genuinely appalled that you could have a character describe another as narcissistic or having BPD, as if BPD is somehow worse that narcissism. If I hadn't been so close to the end of the book that would have put me off reading any further.

I positively devoured this book, finishing it in just one long afternoon!

The Good Sister follows 28 year old fraternal twins, Fern and Rose. Told from Fern’s point of view and interspersed with extracts from Rose’s diary, the story unfolds brilliantly, pulling you in and demanding you continue to turn page after page. The pacing is perfect and the plotting masterful. Sally Hepworth deftly draws all the characters (including the supporting cast) which really brings the story to life and adds a depth of emotional attachment that is sometimes lacking in domestic thrillers.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I’d highly recommend it.

I loved every detail about this book but I especially fell in love with Fern the author writes with such genius it's as if you know the characters personally. It's a gripping domestic thriller with a real twist at the end.
