What begins as an act of love ripples across generations in Monica McInerney's warm and deeply felt novel, The Godmothers. When a young woman named Eliza discovers that the three glamorous, globe-trotting women who raised her — her godmothers — have been keeping a life-changing secret, she is compelled to journey across continents in search of the truth about her past. Set between Australia and Europe, the novel chronicles a woman's quest for identity and belonging, weaving together the tangled bonds of family, friendship, and sacrifice. McInerney writes with the kind of wit and emotional generosity that has made her one of Australia's most beloved storytellers. The Godmothers argues, with quiet conviction, that the families we are given and the ones we choose are equally capable of shaping — and surprising — us. Rich with vivid characters and laced with gentle humour, this is a novel that asks what we truly owe one another across the span of a lifetime, and leaves the reader wondering just how many secrets their own family might still be keeping.
