Book Description
What do you do, when you find the perfect family, and it's not yours? A charming, funny and irresistible novel about families, friendship and tiny little white lies. The only thing Abi ever wanted was a proper family. So when she falls pregnant by an Australian exchange student in London, she cannot pack up her old life in Croydon fast enough, to start all over in Sydney and make her own family. It is not until she arrives, with three-week-old Jude in tow, that Abi realises Stu is not quite ready to be a father after all. And he is the only person she knows in this hot, dazzling, confusing city, where the job of making friends is turning out to be harder than she thought. That is, until she meets Phyllida, her wealthy, charming, imperious older neighbour, and they become almost like mother and daughter. If only Abi had not told Phil that teeny tiny small lie, the very first day they met... Imagine the warmth of Monica McInerney, the excruciating awkwardness of Offspring and the wit of Liane Moriarty, all rolled into one delightful, warm, funny and totally endearing novel about families – the ones we have, and the ones we want – and the stories we tell ourselves about them. 'Rare and delightful ... a beautifully crafted novel about female relationships. I couldn't put this book down.' Clare Press, Fashion Editor-at-large, Marie Claire 'You Be Mother is the kind of book you pick up...and never want to put down ... you will fall in love with this book.'

Once confined to their off-grid “safe house”, Haley and Ben are completely cut off from civilisation. Will they make it out alive? How can they save their mother? How can they discover what’s happening on the outside? Propulsive, electrifying, tense, and often visceral and funny, How to Survive Everything is one teenage girl’s guide to navigating the imminent collapse of her world, family and sanity.

Book Description
Lose yourself in this moving story of a sanguine bond between sisters. Perfect for fans of Maeve Binchy, Rosamunde Pilcher and Fiona Valpy; you won't be able to put it down. 'Full of gifted, complex characters it gripped my attention to the very end.' - ***** Reader Review 'Sallis is always a really good read.' - ***** Reader Review 'I was sorry it ever finished.' - ***** Reader Review ******************************************************************************* A SPECIAL BOND BETWEEN SISTER, BUT CAN IT SURVIVE? The twins were born in war-torn Plymouth in 1944, two little girls whose parents didn't altogether want them. Their childhood as evacuee babies, then at boarding school, then living with their Aunt Maggie, made them grow up uniquely self-sufficient. They didn't need anyone else. They had each other. Miranda was the vibrant, flamboyant one, determined never to conform or be dull and conventional. Meg was quieter, more self-effacing. But Meg always knew when anything bad was happening to Miranda. As they grew up, the bond between them held - until Meg moved to Cornwall to buy a house, to paint, to fall in love. And for the first time a rift broached their special relationship. Their lives shifted - Miranda trapped into domesticity, and Meg - feeling herself betrayed - sought a new path to unexpected success. But the link was still there, in spite of all that was to happen, in spite of violence and tragedy, and finally it led to happiness that came when they had ceased to expect it...
