The Twin by Amanda Brookfield

A heart-wrenching family drama, perfect for fans of Erica James, Elizabeth Noble, Joanna Trollope and Anita Shreve! 💔

A splintered childhood.
A family divided.
An ugly past resurfaces…

From birth, twins Cath and Rob are inseparable. When their mother dies, their bond deepens as their father hastily remarries a woman with a volatile temper whose sole focus is her own baby – Oliver – who arrives nine months later.

When, aged 47, Rob tragically dies, Cath’s world begins to crumble. Her grief compounded further by Oliver’s out-of-the-blue decision to attend Rob’s funeral, opening old wounds after three decades of estrangement.

Thrown together, the half-siblings are forced to confront a past that sends shockwaves through both their lives due to the huge discrepancies in their respective recollections. But could both their versions of the truth be correct…?

Fans of Cathy Kelly and Joanna Trollope will adore Amanda Brookfield’s rich and riveting dissection of relationships, family life and the big consequences that arise from everyday actions…

Praise for Amanda Brookfield's THE TWIN:

'A poignant, engrossing novel and a gripping emotional rollercoaster.'- Helen McGinn

'The queen of powerful, psychological drama at the top of her game. An exquisitely-written, tenderly-observed, absolute roller-coaster of emotions into the enduring power of sibling bonds trying to survive, to live and love. I laughed, I cried, One I recommend from the bottom of my heart' - Louise Douglas

'This is a masterpiece of a story about grief, family ties, and the restorative power of love. It brought me to tears and kept me gripped until the end. Beautiful!'- Sheila Norton

'A gentle and moving portrait of family, grief and new beginnings.' - Laura Pearson

'No one gets to the heart of human relationships quite so perceptively as Brookfield.' The Mirror

'An engaging, emotionally-charged and intriguing story' Michelle Gorman

'Unputdownable. Perceptive. Poignant. I loved it.' Patricia Scanlan

'If Joanna Trollope is the queen of the Aga Saga, then Amanda Brookfield must be a strong contender for princess.' Oxford Times
