About this listen

A poignant novel of heartbreak, adoption and family secrets.

Emma, a nurse and busy mother of three, has always dreamed of having a sister. Michelle, at 46, wonders if it's too late to fall in love and find her birth parents. Sarah, career woman and perfectionist homemaker, struggles to keep up with the Joneses. Bill, 72, feels left behind after the death of his adored wife. Adam can't stop thinking about the father he never had.

These five very different people are all connected but separated by secrets from the past. Sisters and Brothers will both break and warm your heart in a way that only best-selling Australian storyteller Fiona Palmer can.

Great book

Great Aussie story . but I'm sick of reading books with a half finished end and that's what this book is. Why didn't you finish it with Michelle?
Crap ending

Raw & emotional

Being a mother who adopted out a child in 1985 & later found him, this book was raw and emotional. It had me captivated with the development of each character and their personalities with such descriptive perfection I could visually bring them to life.
I loved this book 📚 thoroughly recommend it.

Really good story of stories

Another fantastic Aussie tale of lives turned upside down and colliding. Once again, some humour adds to the enjoyment making some serious and challenging situations lighthearted. Some very resilliant characters here but mostly, I think I want to be a piano tuner !

Too corny to finish

I only got through an hour of this audiobook as it is so corny and predictable, with one dimensional characters.
