An irresistible hug in book form - the brilliant, escapist and
completely relatable new novel from Sunday Times bestseller Milly
Johnson 'Warm, funny and moving. One to curl up with and devour'
Ruth Jones Sandwich generation [noun] A generation of people,
typically in their thirties or forties, responsible both for
bringing up their own children and for the care of their ageing
parents. Shay Bastable is the woman in the middle. She is part of
the sandwich generation - caring for her parents and her children,
supporting her husband Bruce, holding them all together and caring
for them as best she can. Then the arrival of a large orange skip
on her mother's estate sets in motion a cataclysmic series of
events which leads to the collapse of Shay's world. She is forced
to put herself first for a change. But in order to move forward
with her present, Shay needs to make sense of her past. And so she
returns to the little village she grew up in, to uncover the truth
about what happened to her when she was younger. And in doing so,
she discovers that sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to find
the only way is up. The perfect novel to curl up with, or to buy
for the woman in the middle in your life. Praise for The Woman in
the Middle: 'One of those novels that draws you in to its world and
makes you wish you could be friends with Shay. So layered and
textured and had me frequently shouting 'noooooo!!!' when Shay was
getting the rough deal yet again, bounced from pillar to post. A
really good story that kept me wondering what was at the bottom of
it all. A tantalizing juicy tale full of twists and turns that kept
me gripped. Warm, funny and moving. One to curl up with and devour'

our lives. Milly Johnson always delivers an absolutely cracking
read' Katie Fforde 'The main characters are wise, loveable and so
