A fabulously
funny and thought-provoking novel from the author of Off The Record and Just
Desserts, about committing the one sin from which a married woman can never
recover.
Would-be artist
Sarah Colebrook is caught up in the long haul of married life, raising
children, working part-time, and trying to remain philosophical about the
approach of her fortieth birthday.
When she sets
off for an old friend's housewarming bash, leaving husband and boys behind,
she has little idea that the next twelve hours will change her life forever.
Under the heady influence of stimulating company, champagne and a little too
much good living, Sarah makes one fatal error.
There's no
hiding it. Like ripples in a pond the story spreads outwards, reaching those
who relish gossip and those who will be forced to lie in their turn.
This is the best
yet from an author whose recent novels have enjoyed considerable success.
Moving On Up is a tale of the dangers of staying out too late, the insidious
power of guilt, and the irresistible temptations of shellfish.
My interest was
held from the first page. I like Sue Welfare's style of writing, she tells the
story but without writing pages and pages of descriptions that bore you to
death.
She spends just
enough time describing what is necessary and no more. I like a book that gets on
with the story and Sue Welfare does just that.
'Moving On Up'
keeps the reader interested from the first page to the last, I read it in four
days which is a record for me.
I like a book to
grip me from the start and this one does. Since finding Sue Welfare last year
with 'Just Desserts' I have gone on to read another three of her books and
enjoyed every one of them.
Can't wait for the
next one.
