Synopsis
A memorable and moving page-turner about two very different women, each yearning to create a family of her own
What if the thing you most longed for was resting on a two week wait? From the author of the international bestselling One Moment, One Morning, comes a moving portrait about what it truly means to be a family.
After a health scare, Brighton-based Lou is forced to confront the fact that her time to have a baby is running out. She can't imagine a future without children, but her partner doesn't seem to feel the same way, and she's not sure whether she could go it alone.
Meanwhile, in Yorkshire, Cath is longing to start a family with her husband, Rich. No one would be happier to have children than Rich, but Cath is infertile.
Could these strangers help one another?
With her deft exploration of raw emotions and her celebration of the joy and resilience of friendship, The Two Week Wait is Sarah Rayner at her best.

Reviews
Rayner brings back the lovable characters of One Moment, One Morning (2011) for a second heartwarming tale of friendship. Following a medical procedure, Lou is told that if she wants children, she shouldn’t wait, but her partner is not on board, and Lou doesn’t want to go it alone. Instead she turns to Adam, a gay friend who also longs to have a child, and the two begin IVF to start them on their coparenting journey. Lou also decides to donate half of her harvested eggs to a woman in need, and although she will never meet the recipient, we do. We come to know Cath and her husband well as they also set out to become parents in this less-than-conventional way. The process is stressful, will lead either to great joy or immense heartbreak, and seems to invite unwanted judgment and advice. As both women turn to their friends and families for support, Rayner delves deeply into their emotional journeys to bring readers a touching and thought-provoking story that redefines the meaning of family. --Cortney Ophoff
