Description

Eve Sturridge, a high-flying divorcee and mother of two girls, is head teacher of Ivy House, an Ofsted 'Outstanding' prep school in Sussex. Eve is passionate about her school and its pupils.

When Danish power couple, Stefan and Anette Sorenson, jet in and choose Ivy House over other schools, Eve is justifiably proud. The Sorensons are A-listers who bring an aura of style and power to Ivy House.

Zoe is Eve's pretty seventeen-year-old daughter. Unlike her mother, Zoe's not so keen on school. She prefers sending nude selfies to her boyfriend.

When glamorous Stefan Sorenson proposes that Zoe interns at his company and invites her to accompany him to New York, Zoe is over the moon with excitement, while Eve is too focused on Ivy House to smell danger...

I loved this book ... full of characters who behave like people you might actually know - Jojo Moyes

Funny, clever and achingly honest ... a wonderful insight into contemporary relationships - Sally Brampton

Seriously gripping . . . Funny, sad and always sharp - Daisy Goodwin

A novel more grown-up, better written and funnier than anything remotely resembling (dreaded phrase) "chick-lit" - Observer (on Separate Lives)

A triumph, a hilarious dissection of life among North London yummy mummies - Daily Mail (on Separate Lives)
