Review
'Alliott creates warm, human characters that you instantly connect with! she'll entertain and surprise you with every chapter' -- Sunshine Coast Daily, Australia 20050917 'Compulsively readable...[not all is] sweetness and light in Alliott's world; darker themes are also found. This gives it all a sharper edge, and a feeling that real choices are being made by real people.' -- The Times 20060715

Product Description
Another hilarious treat from bestselling novelist Catherine Alliott.
When Lucy Fellowes is offered a dream house in the country she leaps at it. It’s hard enough living in London on an uncertain income, but when you’re widowed with two small boys it’s even harder. And anyway, a rural retreat will bring her closer to Charlie. Charlie? The only man in four years to make her heart beat faster. Perfect. Or it would be. If only he didn’t belong to someone else...
A wickedly witty new novel about how complicated relationships get when you grow up, from the bestselling author of ROSIE MEADOWS REGRETS... and OLIVIA'S LUCK.

This book has everything in it: laughter; sadness; real emotion; not to mention a brilliant story line. I thought I could predict the ending quite early on but was pleasantly surprised to find that the author had chosen to weave a completely new thread into the story that really did leave you guessing until the end. "A married man" is very well written and I found it hard to put down at times. I would recommend it if you like chic lit with a bit more depth.

To say I couldn't put this book down is an understatement - literally I read it in 2 days flat - Didn't want to go to bed but had to! Woke early the next morning to read it - call me sad but it's true.
Catherine Alliott is an extremely gifted writer and I love how she leaves you hanging at the end of every chapter so you just have to read on and on and on and on .....
Can't wait to read her next book. Am gonna read all her previous books - this was the first oe I have read of hers - hope they are just as good!!
BRILLIANT !!

I've been waiting for this book to be written for ages and it was well worth the wait! i've loved all her books since reading the old girl network , and this one has to be my favorite. I had to try my hardest not to wake my newborn little girl whilst reading it as i was laughing so much , plus it isn't your typical girly book with not alot of substance , you'll laugh and cry at all her misshaps! keep them coming Catherine!!
