Meet Rebecca and Hannah: inseparable sisters, until a betrayal tears their relationship apart and spins their lives in different directions.

Rebecca thinks the past is behind her.

She has spent the last ten years working as a lawyer at an insurance firm in London, but she’s unfulfilled in her job, and her boyfriend, the one she didn’t even care about, has just dumped her. And then comes an email from Hannah, the sister she hasn’t spoken to in a decade.

On the surface, Hannah has it all.

A perfect house, a high-flying husband, an adorable daughter. But the facade is crumbling. Forced to reunite with Rebecca when they jointly inherit their grandmother’s clifftop house in Bondi, Hannah is reminded of the life she gave up all those years ago.

Over two weeks, everything the sisters think they know about each other changes forever.

With fierce and complicated family dynamics and a suspenseful edge, What Is Left For Us will have you switching and dividing allegiances until the last page.

Praise for What Is Left For Us

In a stunning exploration of love, loyalty, and family dysfunction, Stern challenges our understanding of unconditional bonds and reminds us that every story has at least two sides. A must-read for sisters.

Nadine J Cohen

What is Left For Us beautifully observes love in all its forms and with all its faults.

Victoria Hannan

A heartfelt and accomplished work. What Is Left For Us is a beautifully rendered portrait of sisterhood with a riveting mystery at its core.

Amy Taylor

Warm, engrossing, beautifully written and so moving — like a Maeve Binchy set in Bondi.
