Book ID/图书代码： 05380011B49446
English Summary/英文概要： Two sisters, one life-changing journey…
Katie is the sister who has it all: a flourishing career and a smart, loving fiancé.
Mia is the dreamer: no ties, no responsibilities, no thought for anyone but herself.
The sisters’ relationship is strained and Katie is relieved when Mia embarks on an around-the-world trip with her best friend, Finn. Then, one devastating night, Katie’s is told the news that Mia is dead – and the police say it was suicide…
When Mia’s things arrive back from the other side of the world, Katie clings desperately to Mia’s journal as the last remaining part of her sister. Although they had barely spoken to one another since Mia suddenly left six months earlier, Katie refuses to accept that her sister would have taken her own life. Distraught that they never made peace, Katie leaves behind her orderly, sheltered life in London and embarks on a journey to find out the truth. With only the entries of Mia’s tattered travel journal as her guide, Katie retraces the last few months of her sister’s life, and—page by page, country by country—begins to uncover the mystery surrounding her death…
What she discovers on her journey changes everything, but is their sisterly bond strong enough to help Katie keep on searching for one final devastating truth?
The Sea Sisters is a compelling story of the enduring connection between sisters.
