Description

After years of romantic drought, Nell is enjoying a thrilling fling with a sexy new man and loving London life, somehow managing to juggle single motherhood with a busy career. Plus, in the city it's easy to avoid her sister who is about to marry Nell's ex. (Yes, messy.)

Then she gets the news. Please could she return to Tredower, the crumbling old family home in Cornwall for the summer Disaster. Tredower has no wifi, harbours her big dysfunctional family, and, far worse, memories of her passionate love affair with the man who is about to become her brother-in-law. The past is another county. Can she go there

Another woman is making her way west too, carrying an explosive secret. Love will be lost, broken, and found, lives changed forever...

Slickly written and very funny - The Times

Author Bio

Polly Williams grew up in Oxford and, having studied English at university, was drawn to journalism. She created her first job by launching a fashion magazine (now defunct). After that she worked at Frank, Punch, You and Instyle, whilst writing for other publications. When Polly got pregnant, she decided to take an early maternity leave to begin writing her novel. Instead, on the night of her leaving party, her waters broke, scuppering her plans. THE RISE AND FALL OF THE YUMMY MUMMY did get written, eventually, and Polly hasn't looked back since.
