A twin sister's death, a lost child, a coastal community that's not always close-knit - introducing the book that will warm your soul as it breaks your heart.

Lili Berry is busy curating a life for herself in the charming coastal village of Swanning, before the death of her twin sister, Honey, upends everything.

A devastated Lili sets out to discover the cause of Honey's death, finding relief from her raw grief amid a flurry of investigative activity.

Pete, a cultivated man who seems to live on the streets, has his own tragedy to bear: the disappearance of his little boy fifteen years ago.

When Lili learns Pete was the one who found her sister's body, the two of them plunge head-first into a web of secrets and lies, before emerging to confront the shocking truth.

Achingly funny and heartbreakingly sad, The Golden Sister celebrates the intensity of families, the solace of unexpected friendships and the all-consuming messiness of love.

Industry Reviews
Prasie for The Golden Sister

'Some books howl and some books weep and some books soar inside your soul. The Golden Sister does all three. Utterly beguiliing. Long may you shine, Suzanne Do.' - Trent Dalton

'From the very beginning, The Golden Sister is a story that grabbed me and wouldn't let go. With this 24-carat debut, Suzanne Do has delivered a story about what happens when we throw ourselves in the deep end, told with heart, humour and a life-affirming understanding of the ways we hurt.' - Hayley Scrivenor

'Suzanne Do's confident debut explores guilt, grief and, ultimately, hope through a cast of eclectic characters and a distinctly Australian setting.' - Benjamin Stevenson

'The Golden Sister is a small town mystery with a lot to say. The kind of book that pulls you along with pace and surprise but stays with you long after you've closed it.' - Holly Wainwirght

'Heartbreaking.' - Marian Keyes
