A Good Life by Virginie Grimaldi is an emotional and uplifting novel from the French Marian Keyes, perfect for fans of Ruth Hogan, Veronica Henry, and Sarah Morgan.

Emma and Agathe are sisters who grew up together but are very different. Agathe, the youngest, messy and ardent, has always taken up all the space in the bath, in the bedroom, and in Emma's heart.

After five years of unexplained silence, Emma arranges to meet Agathe in the family's holiday home. With the passing of their beloved grandmother, the place must be emptied, and the memories revisited.

The two sisters have a week to tell each other everything and make up for the time they spent apart. Will they be able to fix the past amidst the beauty of the summer in the Basque Country, where their childhood is knocking at the door?
