The reclusive Sylvia Wren, one of the most influential American artists of the past century, has been running from her past for sixty years. Born Iris Chapel, the second youngest of six sisters, she grew up in a grand Victorian Wedding Cake House in New England, neglected by her distant father and troubled by her haunting mother. The sisters longed for escape, but the only way out was marriage. Not long after the first Chapel sister walks down the aisle, she dies of mysterious causes, a tragedy that repeats with the second sister, leaving the rest to navigate the wreckage with heart-wrenching consequences. The Cherry Robbers is a beautifully atmospheric, propulsive novel that explores sisterhood, mortality, and the courage to forge one's own path.
