'A brave, bold, rich, amusing, engaging novel', Hello
MagazinePhilippa Smith is in her forties and has a beautiful
newborn baby girl. She also has no husband, and nowhere to turn. So
she turns to the only place she knows: the beginning. Retracing her
life, she confronts the daily obstacles that shaped her very
existence. From the tragic events of her childhood abandonment, to
the astonishing accomplishments of those close to her, Philippa
learns of the sacrifices others chose to make, and the outcome of
buried secrets. Philippa discovers a celebration of life, love, and
the Golden era of television. A reflection of everyday people, in
not so everyday situations. What Reviewers and Readers Say: 'Sophie
Duffy has written a powerful first novel & shows huge promise.'
Katie Fforde 'A warm, moving, wonderful read.' Wendy Holden 'An
extraordinary story...A born storyteller with a gift for
characterisation, she writes with warmth, lovely earthy detail and
a pathos which keeps a lump lodged in the throat...echoes of
Victoria Wood.' The Daily Mail 'Sophie Duffy is a talent to be
reckoned with. She writes with empathy, clarity and huge skill.
Read The Generation Game and enjoy!' Margaret Graham 'A brave,
bold, warm, rich, amusing, engaging novel which sits well alongside
more established authors like Kate Atkinson's Behind the Scenes at
the Museum.' Hello Magazine 'Deftly written, very moving.' The
Bookbag 'This is a beautifully written book... The characters are
quite simply brilliant.' Vanity Case Books
