Has Anyone Seen My Husband?: an outrageously funny and relatable page turner

'Page-turning and heartwarming, with pitch-perfect bite and wit' Helen Lederer, comedian and author 'Pin-sharp, pacy, and with a cast of hilarious characters, this is Kathleen Whyman at her best!' Zoë Folbigg, author of The Note 'A blast, dripping with wit and humour' Caroline Khoury, author of It Must Be Love She married him for better or worse. But no one mentioned the ex-wife. When saying 'I do' to the love of her life, it didn't matter to Marie that Scott had been married before. But four years later, it's a different story. These days, Marie feels as though Scott sees more of his first wife and their children than he does of her and their energetic toddler. All she wants is for them to be a happy, blended family, but it's not so easy when his ex-wife refuses to let the two families meet. Well, Marie's had enough - there's only so much a woman can take! Now she's setting out to find his ex and prove that she's a decent person who can be trusted with the children. But there's a slight catch: Scott's asked her to let him handle it, so she'll need to be discreet. Which is difficult when her mum, cousin and aunt decide to get involved and don't know the meaning of the word. Marie's determined to make it work and pull off the impossible, preferably without getting publicly humiliated, arrested or even divorced... With warmth, wit and humour, Has Anyone Seen My Husband? is a hilariously relatable book that will have you feeling every kind of emotion from start to finish. Get ready to love, laugh and cringe in this unmissable read for fans of Why Mummy Drinks, Fiona Gibson and Confessions of a Forty Something.

The Time of My Life

She's given up on love. But one little letter might change everything... Single mum Bonnie is a born romantic. But she's been seriously let down by love. Her good-for-nothing husband walked out on her and daughter Paige two years ago, and hasn't been heard from since. Between trying to make ends meet, managing teenage mood swings and the serious lack of eligible bachelors in her small town, Bonnie has all but given up on finding her happily ever after. Although if real-life romance is in short supply, it doesn't mean Bonnie can't indulge in a harmless imaginary one. She's started writing to her totally unattainable dream man, baring her soul before screwing up the pages and tossing them straight in the trash... But when fate intervenes and Bonnie actually meets the man she never thought she could have, events take an interesting turn. Envelopes addressed to her start mysteriously arriving on her doorstep. Although Bonnie never sent him any of the letters she wrote, he has now begun writing to her. Is Bonnie about to discover that dreams really do come true? A fabulously funny and warm romantic comedy that fans of Josie Silver, Holly Martin and Lindsey Kelk will absolutely love! Previously published as Hopelessly Devoted to Holden Finn. Praise for The Time of My Life: 'Has you hooked from page one with its light-hearted comedy... Tilly really managed to weave magic with this book... I just could not put it down and I was desperately sad when I reached the end.' Goodreads Reviewer 'I loved this book. Tilly Tennant has an amazing gift of story-telling.' Goodreads Reviewer. Tilly has sold over 280,000 copies. Previously published as Hopelessly Devoted to Holden Finn. For fans of Jenny Colgan, Lucy Diamond and Josie Silver - From a young age, Tilly Tennant was convinced that she was destined for the stage. Once she realised she wasn't actually very good at anything that would put her on the stage, she started to write stories instead. There were lots of terrible ones, like The Pet Rescue Gang (aged eight), which definitely should not see the light of day ever again. Thankfully, her debut novel, Hopelessly Devoted to Holden Finn was not one of those, and since it hit the Amazon best seller lists she hasn't looked back. Born in Dorset, she currently lives in Staffordshire.

To Calais, In Ordinary Time

Three journeys. One road. England, 1348. A gentlewoman flees an odious arranged marriage, a Scots proctor sets out for Avignon and a young ploughman in search of freedom is on his way to volunteer with a company of archers. All come together on the road to Calais. Coming in their direction from across the Channel is the Black Death, the plague that will wipe out half of the population of Northern Europe. As the journey unfolds, overshadowed by the archers' past misdeeds and clerical warnings of the imminent end of the world, the wayfarers must confront the nature of their loves and desires. A tremendous feat of language and empathy, it summons a medieval world that is at once uncannily plausible, utterly alien and eerily reflective of our own. James Meek's extraordinary To Calais, In Ordinary Time is a novel about love, class, faith, loss, gender and desire - set against one of the biggest cataclysms of human history.
