Sisters Jolene, Marsha and Annis have convened at their beautiful family home, Fox House, following the death of their mother, the tricky Eleanor Vamplew. Born seven years apart, the women are more strangers than sisters.
Jolene, the eldest, is a successful romantic novelist who writes about beautiful relationships even though her own marriage to the handsome and charming Warren is complicated.
Marsha, the neglected middle child, has put all of her energy into her work, hoping money will plug the gap in her life left by the man who broke her young heart.
Annis is the renegade, who left home aged sixteen and never returned, not even for the death of their beloved father Julian. Until now.
So when the sisters discover that their mother has left everything to Annis in her will, it undermines everything they thought they knew. Can saying their final goodbyes to Eleanor bring them together again?
Together, Again is the story of truths uncovered and lies exposed, of secrets told – and kept. It is a novel about sister helping sister to heal from childhood scars and finding in each other support, forgiveness, courage and love.
What did I think?
Together, Again is Milly Johnson's 20th novel and what a treat she has in store for her readers. There's something so very comforting about reading a Milly Johnson novel, even though they tackle emotional and often difficult situations. So make a cuppa, put your feet up and lose yourself in this heartwarming book.
The three Vamplew sisters have never really been close and they haven't been all together since their youngest sister left home at the tender age of 16. When their mother dies, the sisters find themselves back in their childhood home and whilst they may have arrived as strangers, they might very well leave as friends.
I loved all three sisters, both their individual characters and the story behind them. All of their backstories contain secrets and there's nothing better in a novel than buried secrets waiting to burst out of the page. There's lots to discover in the Vamplew family history and I couldn't read fast enough to experience all the shocks and surprises that this fabulous book had in store for me.
Poignant, heartwarming and as fabulous as the author herself, Together, Again is a delightfully emotional novel that has dark secrets at its heart but is perfectly balanced by the warmth of sisterly love. Highly recommended.
Many congratulations to Milly Johnson on such a marvellous achievement - here's to the next 20!
