Description
Olwen. Nell. Maeve. Rhona. Meet the Flattery sisters.
Olwen, Nell, Maeve and Rhona were plunged prematurely into adulthood when their parents died in a tragic twist of fate.
Now in their thirties, the sisters barely speak, each too busy carving out impressive careers.
But when Olwen – reluctant matriarch, lodestar and, of late, zealous consumer of gin – abruptly disappears, her sisters are cast back together to find her, whether she likes it or not.
When they eventually track Olwen down, she is holed up in a remote bungalow in rural Ireland, with little electricity and a patchy connection to the outside world.
Together for the first time in years, the sisters vie to confront old wounds and diagnose new ills – most urgently, Olwen’s.
