2008 RNA: Romantic Novel Award (nominee)
Diana Appleyard writes contemporary fiction that women the world over can relate to. Sara, her seemingly perfect life now shattered, has bought a dilapidated country cottage far away from her stark apartment and the business meetings that once made up her married life. Now she must start over, and for the first time see life through her own eyes instead of her husbands.
Sara never doubted her husband, the successful, handsome Matt. Then his best friend blurts out the horrible truth - that he has a bright young girlfriend to match his glittering career. Unable to bear the pain and humiliation, Sara decides to get away - to Cornwall, where in a dilapidated cottage by the sea she hopes to find...healing? Or a new life? With a surprised urban dog and the minimum of baggage, she discovers that she can manage on her own - that she is still an attractive, desirable woman; that she can be her own person, and dance to her own music. She might go back. Maybe. Or perhaps the future lies in a quite different direction altogether.
Genre: General Fiction
