Sisters of the lost marsh

Sisters of the Lost Marsh

Lucinda Riley • 2022

Overview

Six sisters live in the watery isolation of the Lost Marsh, each marked by an inherited curse that forbids them from setting foot beyond the wetlands. When the eldest vanishes on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, the remaining sisters must unravel the secret written into their land before the same fate claims them all. The narrative braids folklore, family loyalty and a slow-burn mystery against a vividly evoked English fenland landscape.
