From the author of Hideous Kinky comes a captivating novel about sisterhood, secrets, betrayal and love.
For as long as Lucy can remember, she’s been caught between loyalty to her rootless, idealistic mother and devotion to her fierce and exacting sister, Bea. From her unsettled childhood to her turbulent teenage years, she’s been forced to make a choice.
But as the sisters come of age and embark on their own experiments – in love, drugs, work, motherhood – they find their lives, and their relationships, increasingly in turmoil.
Can the love they have for each other transcend the damage of the past? Or is the past too dangerous to examine?©2025 Esther Freud (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Reseñas de la crítica
Both delicate and profound – about how relationships bind us together and pull us apart (Tracy Chevalier)
Freud's control is masterful
A novel with the sharp tang of memory … I was swept up into this world of visceral intimacies, the fraught but powerful relationships between the main characters more than gripping enough to carry me along … It’s the relationship between the sisters that lies at the heart of the novel, and Freud teases out its various pressure points with delicate, moving effect … This beguiling story of female experience and family ties is well worth the three-decade wait
Freud exposes the tensions of their sisterly bond – messy, mistake-strewn and quietly marvellous – with tender charm
Fact and fiction intermingle, but this elegant novel is more than memoir
In 1992 Esther Freud’s semi-autobiographical debut novel Hideous Kinky made her a name in the books world ... It was charming, fast-paced - and soon made into a film. So a sequel was a risk, but one which has paid off .... It captures everything from crushes to painful heels to heroin addiction, all in intense vignettes. A highly impressive account
Freud is brilliant at capturing the time in a personal and a global sense … The details are so vivid you feel like you’re remembering the events yourself … it demands and rewards close attention
Lucy’s bruising but always engrossing passage from child to adulthood provides the arc here, and we’re deeply with her at every moment ... Freud’s alternately painful and funny story may cleave close to her fascinating life, but it begs larger questions, too, as Lucy’s insight grows into the lasting legacy of her rootless bohemian upbringing
A soulful, semi-autographical tale about finding your place in the world
Gorgeous and sad and gripping and moving - brutally honest about our search for love (Marian Keyes)
Uncovering the raw, unspoken truths of sisterhood - from love and rivalry to unhealed wounds - this novel delves into the best and worst parts of growing up
Esther Freud’s latest work is a moving novel about sisterhood, secrets, betrayal and love
There is a subtle charm to each of Lucy’s lovers that slowly unravels as she learns and relearns the unreliability of everyone around her, while Bea’s distanced love encourages Lucy to open her mind to the possibility of love without possession
Despite the darkness of much of its subject matter, My Sister and Other Lovers is a spirited and funny book ... Above all else, the novel is an exploration of what it means to have a great love that is founded in shared adversity but still move past and through it – less a reckoning with the past than an acceptance of it. It is about learning how to love gently and with forbearance. It is a novel of deep compassion and grace
