Book description
her emotionally powerful and unputdownable new novel Adele Parks,
Sunday Times bestselling author of ABOUT LAST NIGHT, asks the question:
what if love's not enough? Eloise Hamilton is a Londoner born and bred,
so it is a momentous day when she reluctantly agrees to uproot to
Dartmouth, leaving behind her perfect world so her husband can finally
live in his. There are compensations, however. Her mother-in-law
Margaret will welcome her with open arms, and besides, she can still
rely on best friend Sara to be her lifeline to London. But both Margaret
and Sara are facing their own difficulties, and thrust into unexpected
turmoil, Eloise finds she is the one holding everything together for her
loved ones - and by an ever-weakening thread. As her world implodes with
the strain of being responsible for all around her, someone is bound to
be overlooked. And the damage might be irreparable... A riveting read
full of truths and tender moments Adele Parks worked in advertising
until she published her first novel, PLAYING AWAY, in 2000, which was
the debut bestseller of that year. All of Adele's novels have been top
ten bestsellers and her work has been translated into twenty-five
different languages. Adele has spent her adult life in Italy, Botswana
and London until 2005 when she moved to Guildford, where she now lives
with her husband and son. Adele believes reading is a basic human right,
so she works closely with the Reading Agency as an Ambassador of the Six
Book Challenge, a programme designed to encourage adult literacy. In
2011 she was a judge for the Costa Book Awards. Follow Adele on Twitter
