'A beautiful book, so compassionate... and ultimately very hopeful.
I enjoyed it hugely.' Marian Keyes'A clever, bittersweet, uplifting
novel' Sophie Kinsella 'Writing with proper heart' Rachel Joyce
It's not easy being a grown-up, but Eleanor hoped she'd be better
at it by now...When Eleanor waves her daughter off for a gap-year
trip, she finds herself stuck as a satellite wife, spinning in
faithful orbit around her domineering husband, with only her clever
but judgmental father Conrad for comfort. Andrew isn't mastering
the art of growing up either. But when he finds his belongings
dumped in bin bags on the drive, even he can see that his
girlfriend is hinting he should move out. With no other options, he
moves back in with his parents. Backing onto their garden lives
artist Cecilia, living in chaotic clutter and dreaming of her
ex-lovers, still acting like a stroppy teenager at the age of 66.
Four lives are drawn together by long-buried secrets of the past,
and it is time for them all to grow up... before it's too late.
What readers are saying about Growing Up for Beginners: 'The
characterisation is brilliant, and the astute storytelling,
punctuated by stiletto-sharp wit, produces an effervescent and
spirit-lifting story.' Sunday Mirror 'A poignant and beautifully
articulated tale of love and loss, memory and forgetting, grief and
guilt, new love and letting go. I was engrossed, often tearful, and
finally, uplifted.' Isobel Wolff 'Simply wonderful. I was totally
enchanted, devoured it in a day, and have been raving about it ever
since.' Fiona Walker
