Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Favourite Daughter by Morgan Dick is a family drama taken to new heights.
What We Say: “Two sisters, who have never met, have two very different perspectives on their recently deceased father: one remembers him with adoration; the other pretends he never existed. As they are unknowingly brought together, their lives simultaneously begin to unravel and intertwine. It’s dark, yet funny; poignant yet compulsively readable. A refreshingly real exploration of family, loss, addiction and love that makes you ache and sigh and laugh and wonder what on earth these characters are doing, all at the same time. If you’re looking to absorb yourself in a story and escape into someone else’s life (ideally one that’s so chaotic that yours seems blissfully serene in comparison), this should be your next read.” – Olivia McCrea-Hedley
What They Say: “So stunningly fresh and darkly funny that every page surprised me. Dick writes brilliantly about grief and addition and inheritance and, yes, redemption.” – Catherine Newman
