DATE OF RELEASE: 3 JUL 2025

For as long as Lucy can remember she’s been caught between love for her rootless, idealistic mother and devotion to her fierce and exacting sister, Bea. From their unsettled childhood to their restless teenage years – hitchhiking through rural Ireland, the move to a communal house – she’s been forced to make a choice.

But as the girls come of age and embark on their own experiments – in love, drugs, work, motherhood – Bea is in danger of drifting further and further away. Can their loyalty to one another transcend the damages of a past that has become almost too dangerous to examine? With scalpel-sharp insight, Esther Freud excavates the most intimate relationships of our lives, laying bare the fear and longing, the secrets and mistrust. My Sister and Other Lovers is an irresistible exploration of love, family and freedom in all its forms.
