Synopsis

'Rich people behaving badly' Booklist

The battle lines are drawn . . .

Following the scandalous revelations about his love life, disgraced media mogul Harry Rose is searching for redemption. His daughters - bright, winsome Eliza and dark, difficult Maria - have taken over his beloved company and are making some major changes.

Guided by Harry, Eliza navigates life as Rose Corp's new queen. But Maria is standing in her way. And then there's the distraction of Eliza's childhood playmate, the twinkly-eyed Rob Studley, and the unresolved death of her mother . . .

After a stellar start, things take a turn for the worse and ultimately Eliza will have to make a choice: career, or love?

Loosely based on the turbulent reigns of Tudor queens Mary and Elizabeth, this is a scandalous tale of love, power and betrayal . . .

Goodreads review by Cortney - on September 17, 2021

Let me start off by saying that I absolutely loved Wife After Wife... it was in my top 10 reads of last year, so I was super excited for this sequel. But, it was just OK. Just very, very OK. Nothing great or special. Definitely missing what made Wife After Wife such a fun and enjoyable read.......more

Goodreads review by Craig and Phil on January 24, 2021

Remember roughly about this time last year I raved about a book called Wife After Wife loosely based on Henry VIII and his six wives set in modern times. Sister To Sister is the sequel and I was so excited to get right into it. Dethroned businessman and scoundrel Harry Rose has taken a back seat to hi......more

Goodreads review by Kristin on February 01, 2021

Sister to Sister is a fabulous and fun retelling of Elizabeth I and her half-sister, Mary as they battle for control of a modern-day media empire. Packed with plenty of emotional punch as Eliza and her father, Harry (aka Henry VIII), navigate the challenges of how their legacy will play out, this no......more

Goodreads review by Katie on May 13, 2022

One of those books I generally enjoyed reading, but also felt kind of like *shrug* when I finished. It's super fun to see all the historical parallels, BUT it's still also super weird in a world that IS still ours and where the Tudors existed exactly as they did in our world. Like, at some point, wou......more

Quotes

Racy & pacy!

A fun and entertaining read . . . non-stop Tudor intrigue! An Historian About Town

Even if you're not an aficionado of Tudor history, there is lots to love in this racy romp about the lives of the rich and fabulous. The historical factor is fun though, and adds another layer to an addictively readable novel ... if you're a fan of Jilly Cooper or something of a history buff, then you're really not going to want to miss out New Zealand Woman’s Weekly

The skill of Hayfield in creating a believable modern storyline that maintains the essence of the historical characters and events makes this book more than simply a light-hearted version of the television show Succession . . . in a turbulent summer, Sister to Sister is the perfect escape The Listener

The ingenious way Hayfield re-casts and contemporises the Tudor court gives her a chance to have some fun but there remain perceptive observations of modern life, from the influence of the religious right to the relationship problems caused by family dysfunction . . . an amusing, smart and oddly thought-provoking read with glamour and great heart

A must-read for history buffs Woman’s Day

A fun read but also packed quite an emotional punch for me (I'm not too proud to admit I cried my eyes out!) Royalcentral.co.uk
