Catherine Alliott Knihy

Na dovolenke v Škótsku sa Tessa Hamilton stretáva so svojou prvou láskou – maliarom Patrickom. Za tých dvanásť rokov, čo sa nevideli, sa takmer stačila vyliečiť z prvého vzplanutia, šťastne sa vydala, narodili sa jej dve deti a zariadila si spokojný život ženy v domácnosti, obklopenej milujúcou rodinou. Vyznanie, ktoré si Tessa opäť vypočuje od Patricka, v nej však prebudí potláčané city spojené túžbou po slobode a po vlastnom uplatnení a vynúti si nevypovedanú otázku: ktorý z dvoch mužov, ktorých v svojom živote ľúbila, je ten pravý?

A beautifully repackaged reissue and new format for the wickedly witty novel from the Sunday Times number 1 bestselling author of NOT THAT KIND OF GIRL, and THE OLD GIRL'S NETWORK

The gorgeous new novel from bestselling novelist, Catherine Alliott, author of NOT THAT KIND OF GIRL and A MARRIED MAN. There are already three people in artist Imogen Cameron's marriage - herself, her husband, Alex, and their son, Rufus - and that's just the way she likes it. But all that's about to change... When the Camerons hit dire financial straits they are forced to move out of London and accept an offer from Eleanor Latimer of a rent-free cottage on her estate. Ordinarily, the offer of a free home in the country is not to be sniffed at but as Eleanor just happens to be Alex's beautiful, rich and frankly flirtatious ex, Imogen is very sniffy indeed. And with good reason. Once installed in Shepherd's Cottage, Imogen's life is suddenly full to bursting with surly locals, psychotic chickens, mountains of manure, visits from the infuriatingly bossy vet, and of course Eleanor; who seems to be permanently at Alex's side. As far as Imogen's concerned, two's a marriage, three's a family and this...well, this is just silly, someone's going to have to go. The question is who?

But when her marriage to Michael comes to an abrupt and unexpected end, her life is turned upside down in a flash.

But Lucy gets more than she bargained for when she moves back to her childhood home, especially when it throws her into the path of an old flame. Coming face-to-face with her mistakes, Lucy is forced to confront the secrets she's been keeping from herself and those she loves. Is she ready to let someone in? Or will she leave the door to her past firmly closed . . .

The wonderful novel from Sunday Times bestseller, Catherine Alliott. 'You've gone all fat and complacent because you've got your man, haven't you?' There are things only your best friend can tell you, but this outrageous suggestion is met with indignation from Polly Penhalligan, who is recently married, trying for a baby and blissfully happy in her beautiful manor farmhouse in Cornwall. At least she was, until Pippa's unfortunate remark forces her to realise that her idyllic life of gorging on chocolate biscuits, counting her seemingly endless blessings and not getting dressed until lunchtime could be having a few unwelcome side-effects. So Polly decides to razz things up a bit -- and agrees to allow her home to be used as a location for a commercial. But even before the cameras are set up and the stars released from their kennels, Polly's life and marriage have been turned upside down. This time, it seems, she's gone too far...

However, everyone and everything soon become entangled as the old-girl network turns into a spider's web of complications and deceit. But it's just possible that it might also turn into love...
