From the author of But Won't I Miss Me, this bold and dramatic portrayal of characters on the cusp of an impossible choice (Publishers Weekly), is the story of two sisters from a wealthy Chinese-Indonesian family who grapple with secrets and betrayal after one of them poisons their entire family.Gwendolyn and Estella have always been as close as sisters can be. Growing up in a wealthy, eminent, and sometimes deceitful family, they've relied on each other for support and confidence. But now Gwendolyn is lying in a coma, the sole survivor of Estella's poisoning of their whole clan. As Gwendolyn struggles to regain consciousness, she desperately retraces her memories, trying to uncover the moment that led to this shocking act. Was it their aunt's mysterious death at sea? Estella's unhappy marriage to a dangerously brutish man? Or were the shifting loyalties and unspoken resentments at the heart of their opulent world too much to bear? Can Gwendolyn, at last, confront the carefully buried mysteries in their family's past and the truth about who she and her sister really are? Traveling from the luxurious world of the rich and powerful in Indonesia to the most spectacular shows at Paris Fashion Week, from the sunny coasts of California to the melting pot of Melbourne's university scene, The Majesties is a thrilling, tender page-turner (Krys Lee, author of Drifting House) as well as a sobering look at the dark side of extreme wealth (Kirkus Reviews).
