Three Sisters - by Jojo Moyes (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

When Cora Agnelli's globally famous artist father summons her to his home on the glamorous Italian island of Capri, she is far from keen to go. She has been estranged from him--and her two sisters--for nearly a decade and cannot understand why he is calling a family gathering.

Her polished and acerbic elder sister Diana ran off to America, created a perfect family and career far from the mess of her childhood. Kiki, Cora's younger sister, seems to have morphed effortlessly from the spoiled, party-loving baby of the family to a glamorous social media darling, now engaged and pregnant.

When they all converge on the spectacular white villa, covered in bougainvillea with views of the sea from every window, the sisters don't know quite what to expect from their unpredictable, self-centered and now extremely wealthy father, who is accompanied everywhere by his young nurse, Sophia. On the first night he will make an announcement that will shock all of them--and crack open fault lines that will set sister against sister, and leave Cora unsure whom to trust. But it is Florian Agnelli who will ultimately find himself in jeopardy--and change all their lives forever.

A dazzling novel about three sisters whose reunion is by turns comic, tempestuous, heartfelt, and ultimately redemptive, this is a quintessential story about a fractured family only Jojo Moyes could have written.

Review Quotes

"No one writes women of a certain age better than Jojo Moyes--reminding us that we matter, even when the world tries to make us invisible. It takes a master of the craft to catalog the messy vicissitudes of life in a way that both haunts and validates the reader's own experiences, and her latest novel proves that there is no time like the present to rewrite one's own story."
--Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of By Any Other Name

"With characters so real they feel like dear friends and a compelling storyline, this is a beautiful, special novel. I loved it and didn't want it to end!"

"A delicious comedy that's an ode to women and their friendships...Give yourself a treat with the latest from Britain's queen of women's fiction."

"Timeless, Jojo Moyes's greatest work yet, and one of the most exquisitely-written--and absolutely compulsory--novels about women ever told."
--Lisa Taddeo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Three Women

"Though she made her mark writing contemporary romance, Moyes proves just as adept at historical fiction. . . . The Giver of Stars is a celebration of love, but also of reading, of knowledge, of female friendship, of the beauty of our most rural corners, and our enduring American grit: the kind of true grit that can be found in the hills of Kentucky and on the pages of this inspiring book."
--The Washington Post

"Hilarious . . . believable and funny . . . Moyes combines the warmth of an Annabel Monaghan rom-com with the humanity of a Catherine Newman novel, creating a story that will provoke tears and laughter. [We All Live Here is] a moving, realistic look at one woman's postdivorce family life that manages to be both poignant and funny."
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Bighearted and funny, a story about mistakes, forgiveness, and moving on . . . about family--what defines it, how it morphs, how it hurts us, how it sustains us."
--Star Tribune

--Marian Keyes, internationally bestselling author of My Favorite Mistake
