A Hopeless Romantic

A Hopeless Romantic

This is the warm and enchanting new novel from the bestselling author of “Going Home”. Laura Foster was a hopeless romantic. It was her greatest character flaw for it was the one thing that genuinely got her into trouble! Her friends know it her parents know it – even Laura acknowledges she lives either with her head in the clouds or buried in a romantic novel. But what’s wrong with seeing the world through rose-tinted glasses even if it’s not delivered her a real-life dashing hero yet? But when Laura’s latest relationship ends in disaster rather than a glorious sunset she swears off men and particularly hopeless romantic fantasies for good. With her life in tatters around her she foolishly agrees to go on holiday with her parents and grandmother (combined age nearly 200!). After a few days of traipsing round Norfolk craft shops and National Trust properties Laura’s ready to tear her hair out. And then she meets prickly but sexy Nick estate manager at Chartley Hall one of the country’s greatest stately homes. She swiftly finds she shares more than just a sense of humour with him – in fact she starts to think she could fall for him. But is Nick all he seems?Or has Laura got it wrong again? Will he be the one who makes her enter the convent permanently or is he The One who could thaw her frozen heart? ; ; ‘Well written… you’ll love it’ Daily Mail ; ; ‘Romantic… Gripping…Marks Harriet Evans out as a writer of superior popular fiction her seemingly sunny coming of age story darkening at every turn’ The Lady ; ; ‘Escapism that brings with it the promise of “custard yellow” sands and hot summer sun.’ Independent ; ; ‘Complex storylines flawed characters and cupboards that positively rattle with skeletons.

Coraline

Coraline

Sometimes funny always creepy genuinely moving this marvellous spine-chiller will appeal to readers from nine to ninety. – “Books for Keeps”. “I was looking forward to “Coraline” and I wasn’t disappointed. In fact I was enthralled. This is a marvellously strange and scary book.” – Philip Pullman “Guardian”. “If any writer can get the guys to read about the girls it should be Neil Gaiman. His new novel “Coraline” is a dreamlike adventure. For all its gripping nightmare imagery this is actually a conventional fairy story with a moral.” – “Daily Telegraph”. Stephen King once called Neil Gaiman ‘a treasure-house of stories’ and in this wonderful novel which has been likened to both “Alice in Wonderland” and the “Narnia Chronicles” we get to see Neil at his storytelling best.
