What About Me?
Sue is a forty-six-year old GP, mother of two, wife of one. Frankie is her older daugher, just fourteen, ready to start out in l ife. The pair are diametrically opposite in years and energy, yet bothteeter on the brink of the next big thing.
For Sue, forty-six meeting fourteen is where menopause matches adolescence, anxiety is a mother's middle name and the new best thing is going to bed. And Frankie?
She's thrown off the sugar and spice chrysalis, is surgically attached to her mobile phone, and is learning about boys, padded bras and the absurdities of her parents.
Nothing in common? Well, for starters weight worries, man troubles and a shared desire to break free of the shackle that is home. Oh, and their emails and diaries.
Wickedly funny, perceptive and at times very tender, What About Me? is a wonderful portrait of real life in an average house-hold, sure to strike a familiar chord with mothers and daughters everywhere.

Being Committed
Hannah thinks you have to be insane to get married. She's content with her life - the job as a private investigator at Hound Dog Investigations, the boyfriend of five years, Jason and the wonderful father (pity her mother is such a disaster). Beside which, she's tried marriage once before, but she ended up divorced before she was 21.
So, when the long-suffering Jason proposes, Hannah doesn't think twice about turning him down. Still, she's a little shaken when, a month later, the man has the nerve to get engaged to someone else. Is she not up to settling down? Hannah's family are convinced she blew her one chance of hooking a permanent man, and maybe - just maybe- there's something in Jason's theory that being committed means first coming to terms with your past.
Praise for Anna Maxted:
Anna is exceptional at telling hilarious - but also at times, heartbreaking - stories abou life and love.. you'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll feel, and isn't that what a good story is all about? - HEAT

Trading Up
With her brilliant comic voice and penchant for social satire, described by the Daily Telegraph as "Jane Austen with a martini", Candace Bushnell changed for ever how we view New York City, female friendships and the love of a good pair of Manolos. Now, with her new novel, Trading Up, the author of Sex and the City brings us another sharply observant, keenly funny, wildly entertaining latter-day comedy of manners.
Modern-day heroine Janey Wilcox is a lingerie model whose reach often exceeds her grasp, and whose new-found success has gone to her head. As we follow Janey's adventures, Bushnell draws us into a seemingly glamorous world of $100,000 cars, hunky polo players and media moguls, Fifth Avenue apartments, and relationships whose hidden agenda are detectable only by the socially astute.
But just as Janey enters this world of too much money ad too few morals, unseen forces conspire to bring her down, forcing her to reconsider love and friendship - and how far she's really willing to go for her dreams.
Praise for Candace:
Unputdownable...one of the sharpest practitioners of her art around, Bushnell is also a clever and subtle moralist - Sunday Times

For a House Made of Stone
The extraordinary true story of a young woman from the Philippines who, aged 27, stood trial in the UK for the murder of her husband.
Even as a young child, Gina did all she could to help her family - working with her siblings on their hill farm and leaving home at 11 to become a live-in housemaid.
However a series of misfortunes meant that Gina became a burden and she vowed to repay her mother and father by earning the money for them to build a stone house.
Her quest took many turns-from the fleshpots of Manila to the jet-set worlds of New York and Brunei - until she fell in love with a British man. She married him and together they had a son.
She soon realised that she was married to an abusive bully, but she agreed to move to England to salvage their relationship. Driven close to madness by her husband's violence, Gina stabbed him. Suddenly she was facing a murder charge in a foreign land where she understood little of what was going on.
For a House Made of Stone is Gina's uniquely inspiring story of love, loss, survival and hope.
