They can’t stand each other and their father has just died. A family secret divides them. Rashly going on holiday together, can these two sisters heal and move on with their lives?
Struggling artist, Lucy, and her successful sister, Rhea, make the bold decision to go on holiday together to Dalyan in Turkey, to try to heal their relationship and so fulfil their father’s dying wish. But despite their best efforts, the bereaved sisters soon realise that Lucy’s passionate nature and Rhea’s restraint means it’s difficult to find comfortable common ground. Lucy wants to bond, but Rhea would rather read her novel. When Lucy tries to get Rhea to talk about their childhood and why their relationship suddenly deteriorated, Rhea refuses to discuss it and Lucy becomes suspicious Rhea is hiding something.
Against the backdrop of the beautiful turtle beach, tensions soon escalate between them, while other characters help or hinder, and Lucy is finally forced to come up with a plan to get her sister to open up. She plots to get Rhea alone and stranded where there will be no escape. Can Lucy discover what family secrets her sister is hiding, the revealing of which could actually threaten to destroy them both?
'This has all the elements of a great holiday read. Family secrets, intrigue, relationships, transformation, a gentle romance, a wonderfully woven story-line, adventure, danger, excitement, some exquisitely poetic prose.' Sylvia, Amazon reviewer ★★★★★
'Loved it. The descriptive scenery allowed my imagination to drift and interpret the many scenes and places in and around Dalyan, beautifully relayed by the author... In all honesty, I couldn't put it down, a good read indeed.' Linda, Amazon reviewer ★★★★★
'Sometimes tense, often touching, always beautifully written, On Turtle Beach weaves the story of two sisters trying to get closer after the death of their father...A joy to read.' Petra, Amazon reviewer ★★★★★
‘She had me at the first hint of a family secret and did not disappoint. With a complex tale of sisters and secrets, set in a tropical paradise, the author takes you right into the story on all levels. With a gift for description, you can not only see the scenery, but can also smell it and feel it... I read lots of books that I enjoy and then forget. I won't forget this one.’ Galen, Amazon reviewer ★★★★★
In this novel, sibling rivalry and family secrets play out in the beautiful setting of Dalyan in Turkey.
