‘Stop trying to be brave all the time, Rachel. Fear is a
necessary part of being alive. Sometimes we have to let it show. We
have to own up to it or it drives us mad.’ Rachel Elliot is
single and attractive, a director of a successful advertising
agency, with a handsome lover, close friends, and a clutch of
beloved godchildren. But as her fortieth birthday approaches, so
does a whispering fear that she might have missed the point...
Almost imperceptibly over the years her friends and contemporaries
have settled down and started families. Rather less subtly her
parents have been urging Rachel to do the same. Managing a shocking
incident at work is soon taking up all her energies and she adores
her godchildren. So, is a child of her own what she really wants?
Or is motherhood just what everyone else wants for her? If she
picks the wrong path, there will be no turning back... Join Amanda
Brookfield as she revisits and refreshes her novel, The Godmother,
and rediscover how she got her well-deserved reputation for writing
about women’s lives with humour and honesty. Includes a brand-new
foreword from the author. Praise for Amanda Brookfield: 'An
engaging, emotionally-charged and intriguing story' Michelle Gorman
No one gets to the heart of human relationships quite so
perceptively as Brookfield.' The Mirror 'Unputdownable. Perceptive.
Poignant. I loved it.' bestselling author Patricia Scanlan on
Before I Knew You 'If Joanna Trollope is the queen of the Aga Saga,
then Amanda Brookfield must be a strong contender for princess.'
Oxford Times What readers are saying about Amanda Brookfield: ‘I
felt so involved in this story that I found myself thinking about
it a lot during the day. A fantastic read. Gripping, moving,
characters you care about, highly recommend.’ ‘Packed with
suspense, (I actually held my breath during some of the scenes) and
full of relatable characters, this book will draw you in from the
first page. Highly recommend.’ ‘The tension builds on every
page, the characters, as always with this author’s books, are
drawn beautifully. I couldn’t put it down and am looking forward
greatly to Amanda Brookfield’s next offering hopefully before too
long!’ ‘Brookfield is undoubtedly one of Britain's foremost
chroniclers of human relationships. It goes without saying that
this novel is another page turner – guaranteed to make you read
the last 50 pages before sleep, even though you know you have an
early start in the morning – but it is much, much more.’
