A story of three grown sisters, whose father – in a moment of crisis – accidentally lets slip that he has a favourite, from the author of New York Times bestseller Amazing Grace Adams.

Alex, Eva and Nancy. Three grown-up sisters; each wonderful and messy in their own individual ways. And loved equally by their parents, Vivienne and Patrick.

Or so they thought... Until on their annual family holiday, Patrick accidentally lets slip that he has a favourite daughter – causing other long-buried secrets to come to light.

Set over a single week, but examining the highs and lows that define a family over the decades, The Favourite is a story about rivalries and long-held resentments, about loss and grief and blame – and, above all, about love.
