'A portrait of childhood to rival Roddy Doyle's

and an angst-ridden love life to match

Helen Fielding's ... You'll laugh till you cry' Glamour

Most people would think Annie Baker had it all: an idyllic life in the country and a fabulous job as a film producer. And so would she, if it weren't for the men in her life. Her six-year-old son Charlie gets traumatised if she buys the wrong kind of sausages. Her tempestuous boss Barney is a Great Director, but keeps getting stuck with dog-food commercials, and as for Lawrence, well, he just wants to get her fired. And then she meets Mack ...

IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS.

'A joy: a laugh-out-loud account of Annie Baker's

life and loves ... a heartbreaking, funny look

at parenting and passion' Elle

Life just keeps getting more complicated for Annie Baker. Her sister Lizzie's pregnant and wants Annie to be her birth-partner, while Kate from the village has somehow ended up having an affair with her own ex-husband. As for the men in Annie's own life, it just gets worse. Her seven-year-old son Charlie is now officially Pagan, and desperate for a pet pheasant. Boss Barney's taken up TV commercials involving stunts that aren't exactly safe. Then there's Uncle Monty to keep an eye on, eighty-three and threatening the Meals on Wheels lady with a shotgun. And then Mack comes back from New York, just when Annie was beginning to think she might be able to cope without him ...

STAND BY YOUR MAN.

'A funny and touching novel. I wish I'd.

written it' Arabella Weir.

Alice Mayhew, part-time architect and full-time mother to Alfie, is to gardening what Alan Titchmarsh is to deep-sea fishing. So finding she's been volunteered to design a new garden for the village comes as a bit of a shock, because apart from anything else she's far too busy trying to convince Alfie that wearing green trousers doesn't make you Peter Pan, and that flying is best left to experts. Molly O'Brien is finding it hard enough coping with Lily (aged four and likes washing-up) and Matt (aged thirty-two and doesn't) before she discovers she's pregnant. And then there's Lola Barker, who causes havoc wherever she goes, and brings a whole new meaning to 'high-maintenance'.

DIVAS DON'T KNIT.

'Warm and wonderful' Cosmopolitan.

Jo Mackenzie, recently widowed, with two young sons and a perilous bank balance, leaves London to take over her grandmother's wool shop in the Kentish seaside town of Broadgate Bay. Marmalade mohair instead of peach four-ply, an A-list actress and a Stitch and Bitch group addicted to cake all help, but it's not going to be easy. Very big dogs, small-town intrigue, packed lunches and the joys of knitting, not to mention romance, loom large in this funny and uplifting novel.
