Jay has always envied her cousin Delphine. While Jay was brought up in a large, chaotic family, Delphine was perfectly dressed with a coordinated bedroom and an immaculate wardrobe. But then Delphine reappears when they are both adults, with a third husband in prospect and the same old air of apparently effortless superiority. Jay never considers that perhaps Delphine is the envious one.

Although Jay is happy, she had always envied her cousin Delphine; her well-organized life and size ten figure. Then Delphine reappears with her third husband. Perhaps Delphine is the envious one.
Judy Astley was frequently told off for day-dreaming at her drearily traditional school but has found it to be the ideal training for becoming a writer. There were several false-starts to her career: secretary at an all-male Oxford college (sacked for undisclosable reasons), at an airline (decided, after a crash and a hijacking, that she was safer elsewhere) and as a dress designer (quit before anyone noticed she was adapting Vogue patterns). She spent some years as a parent and as a painter before sensing that the day was approaching when she'd have to go out and get a Proper Job. With a nagging certainty that she was temperamentally unemployable, and desperate to avoid office coffee, having to wear tights every day and missing out on sunny days on Cornish beaches with her daughters, she wrote her first novel, Just for the Summer. She has now had eleven novels published by Black Swan.
