Sally Hepworth on ‘The Lies That Bind’ in ‘The Good Sister’

When Sally Hepworth decided to write her first book, she Googled, ‘How to write a book.’ Six novels later, the bestselling author picked up a thing or two! The Girlfriend Book Club’s July 2021 read, ‘The Good Sister,’ is a twisty thriller about fraternal twins, one with a sensory processing disorder and the other, diabetes, who are very different women with very different, unreliable versions of their lives. Hepworth shares the neurodiversity in her own family and grappled with writing a character who was. While she doesn’t have sisters, Hepworth has many in her family, including her two daughters, to whom she dedicated the book to show her the joys and horrors of sisterhood!
