From
the author of Guilty Creatures comes a novel of family life turned upside down.
Kate's
got her life sorted out, with her own business, run from her trendy townhouse
in London, where she's lucky enough to have best friends in the same street, a
workable marriage, two kids, the occasional visit home to her roots.
But
all this is changed by a phone call one night: her widowed mother has fallen
over and is in hospital.
Things
aren't as they seem.
Far
from being a fragile old lady in desperate need, it transpires that Kate's
mother has tripped down the stairs after too many lunchtime cocktails and is
being only too well looked after by her gorgeous toyboy lodger.
Miffed,
Kate returns to London -- to discover that her best friend has been sleeping
with her husband.
Where
does that leave her?
A
novel of trust betrayed and lives rebuilt, internet dating and the strange
comfort of returning home after life in the fast lane, this will win Sue
Welfare even more dedicated fans.
