Madeleine Wickham, who
writes the fabulous Shopaholic books under pen name Sophie Kinsella, seems to
have undergone a new look with the latest releases of her books. Before,
Madeleine's books tended to be a separate affair, no doubt to stay true to
their different audiences. However, rather recently, it seems that Sophie's
gone a different route, bringing the Shopaholic fans closer to the author's
other work.
Madeleine's novels have been reprinted with Sophie's name on the cover as well as her own, with covers not unlike the Shopaholic jackets.
Sleeping Arrangements by Sophie Kinsella (writing as Madeleine Wickham) was published in October this year. Next book The Wedding Girl is set to be released on December 9th. Here's the synopsis...
At eighteen, Milly was up for anything. So when a friend asked her to marry him just so that he could stay in England, she didn't hesitate. To make it seem real she dressed up in wedding finery and posed on the steps of the registry office for photographs.
Now, ten years later, Milly is a very different person. Engaged to Simon - who is good-looking, wealthy and adores her - she is about to have the biggest and most elaborate wedding imaginable, all masterminded by her mother. Nobody knows about her first marriage, so it's almost as though it never happened - isn't it?
But with only four days to go, it looks as though Milly's past is going to catch up with her. Can she sort things out before her fairytale wedding collapses around her? How can she tell Simon? And worse still, how can she tell her mother ...?
