Anywhere but Here: The fun and escapist new novel about friendship and marriage, the perfect holiday read for summer

Three friends at life-changing crossroads . . .

Matilda: Living the dream: presenting breakfast TV in Dublin and married to a man with a mega media career in the UK. But when she turns up in their London flat to surprise him for his birthday, it’s she who gets a shock.

Sadie: Clinging to her journalism career because, apart from a snooty dog, it’s all she has. Her house is falling apart, her romantic life is just as ramshackle and nasty flashbacks to her past are becoming more than just a nuisance.

Jess: The one who was sorted early - married a lovely man, had two gorgeous babies. But with a distant husband and teenage twins who think she’s cringe, nothing she believed about herself makes sense any more.

Matilda, Sadie and Jess take off to Donegal to do some serious soul-searching. But maybe the answers to their problems lie closer to home?
