The Godmothers by Monica McInerney

'I don't want two wishy-washy godmothers,' Jeannie had said.
'No dolls. No pink dresses. Just lots of adventures. Lots of spoiling.
The pair of you like two mighty warriors protecting her at every step.'

Eliza Miller grew up in Australia as the only daughter of a troubled young
mother, but with the constant support of two watchful godmothers, Olivia
and Maxie. Despite her tricky childhood, she always felt loved and secure.
Until, just before her eighteenth birthday, a tragic event changed her life.

Thirteen years on, Eliza is deliberately living as safely as possible,
avoiding close relationships and devoting herself to her job. Out of the
blue, an enticing invitation from one of her godmothers prompts a leap
into the unknown.

Within a fortnight, Eliza finds herself in the middle of a complicated
family in Edinburgh. There's no such thing as an ordinary day any more.
Yet, amidst the chaos, Eliza begins to blossom. She finds herself not only
hopeful about the future, but ready to explore her past, including the
biggest mystery of all - who is her father? 

Set in Australia, Scotland, Ireland and England, The Godmothers
is a great big hug of a book that will fill your heart to bursting.
It is a moving and perceptive story about love, lies, hope and
sorrow, about the families we are born into and the families
we make for ourselves.
