A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Are love and devotion enough to create a happy family? When Andi married Ethan she not only got the man she loved but also the chance to be a mother, to his daughters Emily and Sophia. Unable to have a child of her own, Andi saw this opportunity at motherhood as a precious gift. If only it were that simple. For this is not a happy family, and the trouble lies with Emily. Her conflicted feelings towards her stepmother leave Andi feeling hated in her own home despite years of trying to reach out to her stepdaughter. And with each new drama, Emily drives Andi and Ethan further apart. Just as Andi starts to contemplate a life without Ethan and the girls, Emily comes home with some shocking news. News that will change their lives for ever. In 1996 Jane Green revolutionized women's literature with Straight Talking and its free-spirited heroine Tasha. Fifteen years later, Jane is a 2.5 million bestselling author, now a mother of four, married twice and dealing with all the things a woman in her forties faces on a daily basis, is releasing her best ever coming of age tale that will satisfy her most demanding fans.

Revue de presse :

Jane Green is women's fiction royalty, and after a dozen novels she's still head and shoulders above the average chick-lit author. She not only creates the characters who seem real, but she makes you care about the characters you don't even like . . . A compelling family drama (Heat )

A heartbreaking tale of love and family, this is a truly compelling story (Closer )

A compulsive and moving read about motherhood (Good Housekeeping )

If you've sold over 10 million books, you've either worked at Waterstones for a very long time or you're something of a literary phenomenon. Jane Green is definitely the latter and her latest novel is an emotionally-charged tale about a woman who finds love can be a double-edged sword when it comes with a stepdaughter who wishes you weren't there (Bella )

A gripping and emotional read (Star )
