Book Synopsis:
To have a future, she must confront her past . . .
It’s 1929 and after running away from her family in Lancashire, becoming a dancer in London and having a riotous time in Paris with her best friend Nancy, would-be fashion designer Vita Casey is now living a much more sedate life in New York with her baby son, Bertie, far away from her evil brother, Clement, and her nemesis, Edith.
When the disastrous events of the Wall Street Crash change their destinies, Vita and Nancy flee to Los Angeles, where Nancy is determined to make it in the talkies. Schmoozing their way into the ranks of the Hollywood elite, Vita is starting to think that she can begin to fulfil her fashion ambitions. But when the love of her life, Archie, is hired as a writer on Nancy’s new movie and Clement exacts his ultimate revenge, Vita’s past and present collide.
She has no choice but to tell the truth and try to reclaim what is rightfully hers before it’s too late.

My Review:
The Sister’s Return is the third book in the fantastic A Stitch In Time series and another thoroughly exciting and captivating read.
The book follows Vita and Nancy as they travel to New York and then Hollywood to chase their dreams. I have to say I loved the two feisty and determined main characters. They were brave enough to go against convention and live their lives to the full which was lovely to read about. They soon started to feel like old friend and I felt invested in their story.
The author has clearly done her research and I loved all the fantastic descriptions that helped make the era come to life. It must have been an interesting time to live through and I eagerly drank in all the details. The fashion in particular sounded fabulous and has led to many wasted hours looking on Google for similar items.
Overall I loved this book and thought it was a great way to end the series. The fabulous plot quickly drew me into the story and there always seemed to be something happening to keep me reading. The many twists kept me on my toes as did the constant threat of Clement who I’d gladly have seen come to a sticky end. I’m sad the series has ended and look forward to re-reading it soon.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Pan Macmillan for my copy of this book.
