New York Times bestselling author Sally Hepworth comes to Minneapolis in support of her latest novel, Darling Girls (coming April 23, 2024 from St. Martin’s Press). Lauded for her darkly comic, page-turning books, Darling Girls finds Hepworth at her best, with a novel alive with idiosyncratic characters, an unforgettable villain, and an unfailing capacity for humor and surprise.
Hepworth will read from the new release and discuss her work with Minnesota's own Lorna Landvik, author of Last Circle of Love and many other beloved titles, followed by an audience Q&A and book-signing by both authors. Additional award-winning titles by the author will also be for sale at the event!
The author of nine novels, with sales topping more than one million copies worldwide, Hepworth lives in Melbourne, Australia.
Advance Praise for Darling Girls
This is the rare story that’s equally character and plot driven, with the ‘sisters’ portrayed as distinct and lovable and the plot just packed with twists. Hating Miss Fairchild is the icing on the cake.
—First Clue, Book of the Week
New York Times bestseller Sally Hepworth gets better with every one of her darkly comic, page-turning books. Darling Girls tells the story of about three women, former foster children, once presided over by the Mommie Dearest-esque Miss Fairchild. When bones are discovered buried under the farmhouse of their youth, they’re called in by the police to share what they know, the secrets begin tumbling deliciously out, and the reader is asked to consider what they might be capable of when placed in a desperate situation of their own. Alive with idiosyncratic characters, an unforgettable villain, and an unfailing capacity for humor and surprise, Darling Girls is Sally Hepworth at her absolute best.
Sally Hepworth is the author of eight novels, most recently The Soulmate. Her novel, The Mother-in-Law (2019), has been optioned for a TV series by Amy Poehler. Drawing on the good, the bad, and the downright odd of human behavior, Sally writes incisively about family, relationships and identity. Her domestic thrillers are laced with quirky humor, sass, and a darkly charming tone. Sally’s novels are available around the globe in English and have been translated into 20 languages. She has sold more than one million books worldwide.
Sally lives in Melbourne, Australia with her three children and one adorable dog.
