IN MY SISTERS SHOES PB B FORMAT – SINEAD MORIARTY

In one of the many fantastic reviews for Sinead Moriarty s fourth novel, In My Sister s Shoes, the reviewer praised Sinead s ability to apply the light tender touch to dark, painful subjects . It s a perfect description of how Sinead tells the story of a younger sister stepping in to help out when her older sister is diagnosed with cancer. In a similar way to Marian Keyes, Sinead manages to balance light and dark with wonderful finesse, warmth and humour. Kate O Brien is thirty and has very little to think about except trying to keep her balance as she totters up London s media-land ladder. Fiona O Brien is Kate s responsible older sister – with a husband, twin boys, a dog and now … a life-changing problem. It s a problem that means Kate going back to Dublin. Pronto. There she finds herself stepping into Fiona s shoes – and discovering that she s definitely not cut out to be a domestic goddess. On top of that, the ex she thought she d got over years ago turns up to haunt her. Will either of the O Brien sisters survive? And even if they do, can either of them slip back into their old shoes ever again?
