'Beautiful, heart-wrenching and raw. A joy' Sinéad Moriarty author of the Devlin Sisters novels
Anna McPartlin brings her trademark wit to this uplifting novel about how with good friends, you can see the funny side of anything
2010
Caroline has hit rock bottom. After years of trying, it's clear she can't have children, and the pain has driven her and her husband apart. She isn't pregnant, her husband is gone and her beloved dog is dead.
The other women at her infertility support group have their own problems, too. Natalie's girlfriend is much less excited about having children than her. Janet's husband might be having an affair. And then there's Ronnie, intriguing, mysterious Ronnie, who won't tell anyone her story.
1976
Catherine is sixteen and pregnant. Her boyfriend wants nothing to do with her, and her parents are ashamed. When she's sent away to a convent for pregnant girls, she is desperate not to be separated from her child. But she knows she might risk losing the baby forever.
'An enthralling read with brilliant characterisation, heartbreaking plotting, and so many laughs along the way' Liz Nugent
