‘What a brilliant premise for a novel! Julia’s writing is a
sparkling delight.’ Sophie HannahThe beginning of Janet, Viv and
Zelda’s friendship could not have been less promising…
Navigating their new lives as widows, the three women venture to
the same dreary bereavement group in a chilly church hall. But what
bonds them is not their shared predicament, but instead how quickly
they all decide to flee the depressing gathering, choosing instead
to share a bottle of wine. The Three Muscat-eers is born. The women
may be down but they’re not out; in their sixties but certainly
not past it. They agree a mission: to find fulfilment as single
women and recover their joie de vivre. And as they start to feel
ready to face the world again, the friends support each other to
dive headlong into new hobbies, new adventures, and even to dip
their toes into the wonderful world of dating again. When one of
the ladies gets life-changing news, there’s only one thing for
it. The Widows’ Wine Club closes rank, and it’s ‘one for all
and all for one’. Because when they stick together, there’s
nothing the friends can’t achieve. ‘A book full of humanity,
heartache and humour. I loved it!’ Adèle Geras Julia Jarman’s
debut novel is big-hearted, fantastically funny and joyfully warm.
Perfect for all fans of Faith Hogan, Cathy Kelly and Lucy Diamond.

mother, an Egyptologist, when they take in a stray cat. This cat
bears an uncanny resemblance to a cat ornament given to Topher by
his mother and so they name it 'Ka', meaning 'double'. Topher
becomes very attached to Ka and is puzzled by her mysterious
absences. One day when he is playing a computer game with an
Egyptian theme, Ka jumps on the keys and spells out the name
Bubastis, which was the centre of cat worship in Ancient Egypt.
Could Ka really be leading a double life and what is she trying to
tell Topher?
