Anna has waited a long time to fall in love and now that she has, she’s not going to let her boyfriend Charlie’s mother stand in her way. Meredith Granger is frighteningly well-cultured and impossible to impress. So far, Anna hasn’t even been allowed to meet her.
But when Charlie leaves the country on business for the summer, Anna decides to take matters into her own hands. Reinventing herself from ‘one of the boys’ in an office full of foul-mouthed sales reps into the perfect, butter-wouldn’t-melt daughter-in-law, Anna embraces a whole new life. Garden parties, Sunday tennis, little vintage dresses from Laura Ashley - it seems almost too easy.
It’s only when she tails Meredith on an Art Explorers’ trip to Andalucia that she wonders if things might be rather more difficult, and if she might be a little out of her depth after all . . .
- 'Wickedly, hilariously observant - and a genuinely touching account of a woman coming to terms with her mother's early death. Louise Candlish is so good at seeing the psychological truth behind our absurd social rituals. I am full of admiration for her.' Rebecca Horsfall, author of DANCING ON THORNS For Prickly Heat:'A fabulous tale of sun, sand and sex - a great escape' New Woman
- 'This hilarious romp is perfect summer reading' Heat
