In the tradition of the spellbinding historical novels of Philippa Gregory and Kate Morton comes a stunning story based on a real-life Tudor mystery, and of a curse that echoes through the centuries and shapes two women's destinies... 1560: Amy Robsart is trapped in a loveless marriage to Robert Dudley, a member of the court of Queen Elizabeth I. Surrounded by enemies and with nowhere left to turn, Amy hatches a desperate scheme to escape-one with devastating consequences that will echo through the centuries... Present Day: When Lizzie Kingdom is forced to withdraw from the public eye in a blaze of scandal, it seems her life is over. But she's about to encounter a young man, Johnny Robsart, whose fate will interlace with hers in the most unexpected of ways. For Johnny is certain that Lizzie is linked to a terrible secret dating back to Tudor times. If Lizzie is brave enough to go in search of the truth, then what she discovers will change the course of their lives forever.… (plus d'informations)

The Forgotten Sister's cover is a bit misleading, as much of the novel takes place in the present day and the mystery is there also. Overall, it was fine, but starts slow and the choice to make the characters all have the same names was confusing at first (even if it makes sense for reasons that become apparent as the story goes on).

Still, fans of Tudor England historical fiction and authors such as Philippa Gregory will be entertained.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for review. A different version of this review will be published in the Shelf Awareness for Readers newsletter. ( )

Nicola Cornick always writes books I enjoy. She has such well developed characters that one can relate to and this book was no exception. Could not put it down and it keep me up late reading. Highly recommend for any historical fiction/mystery fan. ( )

*I received this book through a Goodreads Giveaway.*

The dead of Amy Robsart always makes for a good historical mystery and this novel is no exception. At times, I did think the parallels between the sixteenth-century story and the portions set in contemporary Britain were just a little too aligned, but overall the story works and had enough turns that I kept guessing how things might turn out until very near the end. I love the Tudor period, so I absolutely enjoyed this take on Amy Robsart's tale and I hope the author writes more mysteries set in this era. ( )

*** Blog Tour ***

The Forgotten Sister by Nicola Cornick picks up on the history of Amy Robsart's death and develops an entire two timeline story that incorporates history, love stories, sibling rivalries, celebrity lifestyles, mysterious deaths, and magical realism. This book is unusual in two timeline stories in that I find myself equally engaged in both stories. The book is a fast paced page turner that keeps me engaged until the very end.

This book was a bit different than the usual books I read. I loved how the story went from past to present times. I was never confused as to what time period it was and what characters were being talked about. I loved that this book gave a possible conclusion to what really happened to Amy Robsart during the early reign of Elizabeth l. I loved each story and the characters. I received a copy of this book from Netgalley for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will. ( )
