Synopsis
Monica Moran was not the woman she used to be. Or rather she was not just the woman she used to be. She was at least one other woman as well and their combined weight sat heavily on her overburdened bones. Where her breasts had been generous twenty years ago, they were now magnanimous, munificent...she leaned forward to negotiate the bottom step and Bernadette couldn't help clucking in disapproval. If that cleavage was any closer to the ground you could stand a bicycle in it. Twenty years ago, when Father Barry ruled the Tullabeg roost, Bernadette Teegan and Monica Moran vied for his attention. Then Monica went away and life settled down. Now Monica is back. And Bernadette has no intention of making hers a happy visit. She has plans to snare the most eligible bachelor in town, Cormac Hegarty, Estate Agent, and keep nephew Michael's soul (and overalls) spotless. But Monica has plans too! A comedy of errors, misdirection and cross-wired agendas, "Toppling Miss April" is a triumph of flesh over fantasy, when menopause is just a pause between men and experience counts for everything.

About the Author
Adrienne Dines was born in Dublin in 1959, graduated from Trinity College in 1981, and currently resides in Weybridge Surrey. Toppling Miss April is her second novel, written in response to the observation that her first, which was about a nun, didn't have any naughty bits. Toppling Miss April has no nuns.
Review
"...great opening, clever plotting and lovely characterisation. I was laughing out loud." - Marina Oliver" "A laugh-out-loud screwball comedy featuring lust, mistaken identity and knitting. This is humour sized 44FF: uncontainably funny." Meg Gardiner Shreve writes crime fiction (Hodder and Stoughton) 'At last - a REAL book for real women who've lived long enough to know that love is never perfect. This funny-sad Irish novel will restore your faith in human nature and make you realise that the wobbly bits don't matter!' Sharon Kendrick Mills and Boon
