The Generation Game is the upcoming debut novel by Sophie Duffy, winner of the Yeovil Literary Prize. Sophie was inspired to write the book, which is due for release on August 1st, by growing up in a sweet shop in Torquay. (We love the cover too!) Here's the synopsis...Philippa Smith is in her forties and has a beautiful newborn baby girl. She also has no husband, and nowhere to turn. So she turns to the only place she knows: the beginning.
Retracing her life, she confronts the daily obstacles that shaped her very existence. From the tragic events of her childhood abandonment, to the astonishing accomplishments of those close to her, Philippa learns of the sacrifices others chose to make, and the outcome of buried secrets.
Philippa discovers a celebration of life, love, and the Golden era of television. A reflection of everyday people, in not so everyday situations.
