A strange miscellany – this is a collection of ten of her short stories as well as a few other musings about life. Lighter and much, much shorter than her usual blockbusting novels, fans will enjoy but those new to her should start elsewhere. Each story spins a new heroine in a new scenario from an anxious young mum to the unexpected challenges of being a grandmother via many other of life’s challenges for modern women.

Fellow novelist SOPHIE KING on PENNY VINCENZI
I met Penny during my time as a journalist and thought she was wonderful. She's given me advice over the years as well as a quote for my own covers. Penny's books have a wide cast of characters so there's something for most of us. She's also got a gift for creating settings so the smells and colours leap out of the pages.
