“Broken Fortune by Aly Mennuti is a poignant portrait of one woman’s grief as she struggles to keep her family together in the aftermath of her step-mother’s death. Elizabeth is the eldest of five very different children, whose lives are forever intertwined when their parents remarry. From the beginning, it is clear that this is no ordinary family, and despite its glamour and dazzling wealth, it is ‘unhappy in its own way.’ Tolstoy is clearly an inspiration for this tender, perceptive tale exploring the circle of life and the family bonds that bind us. With all the drama and wit of Succession and set in exclusive Caribbean islands and lavish Manhattan penthouses,

you’ll be swept up by this gorgeous tale. Mennuti’s characters are as real as your siblings.

There’s a plot full of gasp-out-loud twists and turns. And you’ll be rooting for Elizabeth to embrace her new role as matriarch and get the happily-ever-after family she deserves.”

—Chloe Esposito, Bestselling Author of the Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know trilogy

“When secrets bubbling away under the surface come back to threaten the present and undermine the future, Broken Fortune explodes into a smart, compelling page-turner that makes the reader question whether it is better to be inside a family looking out or outside looking in.”

—Sam Blake, Bestselling Author of Three Little Birds and Mystery of Four
