Produktbeschreibung

Mothers and daughters alike will never look at each other in quite the same way after reading this book-a brilliantly funny observation of contemporary family life. Lizzie-exasperated Mother of Cassie, Connor and Stepdaughter Maisy-is the frustrated voice of reason to her daughters' teenage angst. She gets by with good friends, cheap wine and talking to herself-out loud. 16-year-old Cassie-the Facebook-Tweeting, Selfie-Taking, Music and Mobile Phone obsessed teen-hates everything about her life. She longs for the perfect world of Chelsea Divine and her 'undivorced' parents-and Joe, of course. However, the discovery of a terrible betrayal and a brutal attack throws the whole household into disarray. Lizzie and Cassie are forced to reassess the important things in life as they embark upon separate journeys of self-discovery-accepting some less than flattering home truths along the way. Although tragic at times this is a delightfully funny exploration of domestic love, hate, strength and ultimately friendship. A poignant, heartfelt look at that complex and diverse relationship between a Mother and daughter set amongst the thorny realities of today's divided and extended families.

Autorenporträt

Eva Jordan was born in Kent but has lived most of her life in a small Cambridgeshire town. She has a degree in English and History and describes herself as a lover of words, books, travel and chocolate - and the odd glass or two of wine. Her career has been varied and has included working for the library service, and in a women's refuge. She is both a mum and step mum to four adult children, and Nanna to two beautiful grandchildren. Navigating blended family life has, for the most part, proved to be a wonderful, rewarding experience. Nonetheless, there were times when she found it extremely challenging - especially when the children were all teenagers! However, it was those very experiences that provided Eva with the inspiration for her three novels, 183 Times A Year, All The Colours In Between, and Time Will Tell; family based dramas that take a delightfully funny but at times, tragic and poignant look at contemporary family life. As well as writing novels, Eva also writes short stories and is a columnist and book reviewer for her local lifestyle magazine, The Fens.
