Here's yet another columnist-turned-author with a new
addition to her list of bestsellers! Polly Williams, author of The Rise and
Fall of a Yummy Mummy, a Bad Bride's Tale and How to be Married, will return in March
next year with her new novel A Woman Like Me. There's no cover available yet,
but here's the synopsis:
Nell Stockdale is in a pretty good place. At 36, she's
managing to combine a full-on media career with single motherhood. She's got a
lovely London flat, great girlfriends, and has begun an affair with a sexy
younger man. But there is bad news: her mother is very ill. Will she return to
the family's large, damp Cornish farmhouse for the summer to care for her? It's
a dilemma. Normally Nell keeps her family at arm's length. Her sister is
engaged to Nell's ex big love. There's the aspirational sister-in-law, the
flaky brother, and the inescapable fact that she has never got on with either
Cornwall or her eccentric, distant mother. The past is another county. But
something powerful is pulling her back.
Meanwhile, in Banbury, April James has finally found the courage to leave safe
married domesticity and head south on a mission too, convinced that the
Stockdales once played a part in her life. One handsome man will enchant both
Nell and April. And as the women's paths cross, dark family secrets, hidden for
a generation, change all their lives forever...
