Amanda Brookfield . Boldwood Books Ltd . English

'An engaging, emotionally-charged and intriguing story' Michelle Gorman No one gets to the heart of human relationships quite so perceptively as Brookfield.' The Mirror On a normal day, in a normal house, on a normal street, wife and mother Fran has had enough. She packs a case, leaves a note for her bullying husband Pete, and one for her beloved twenty-year-old son Harry, and heads to the airport - and freedom. In another house, on another street, Helena is desperately baiting her husband Jack into a fight. These days it feels like the only way to get Jack to take notice of her. Passionate, volatile, increasingly fragile, Helena is fast running out of hope. What Helena and Fran don’t know, is that soon their lives are going to collide in ways neither expect nor understand. And if Fran and Helena are going to change their own futures, then first they will have to change each other’s. Amanda Brookfield is back with a triumphant, crackling story about love, marriage, lies and fate, and how our destinies can be changed by the smallest decisions. Perfect for fans of Sheila O'Flanagan, Jane Fallon and Jane Green. Praise for Amanda Brookfield 'Unputdownable. Perceptive. Poignant. I loved it.' bestselling author Patricia Scanlan on Before I Knew You 'If Joanna Trollope is the queen of the Aga Saga, then Amanda Brookfield must be a strong contender for princess.' Oxford Times

About the Author

When I was twenty-five years old and working as a freelance journalist in Argentina, I decided to have a go at writing a short story. Before I knew it, the plot had spun and whizzed into a full novel. I called it 'ALICE ALONE' - because that had been my Gran's name. Luckily, the critics loved it, perhaps because my Alice was a lot wilder than my Gran! Since then I have published 19 more best-sellers - like 'THE SPLIT', 'LIFE BEGINS', 'THE OTHER WOMAN', 'GOOD GIRLS', 'THE WRONG MAN', 'THE LOVE CHILD' and my latest, 'THE TWIN', a heart-breaker with a happy ending that made me cry even as I was writing it. What drives me as a story-teller is digging into the nitty-gritty of all those vital relationships in our lives - as mums, dads, kids, lovers, friends, siblings and everything in between. Happiness or dysfunction - the starting point is always the human heart. The core of me understands every character I create - good or bad - and wants to be fair to them. To me, a good book is like the best friend imaginable: always there when needed, always full of comforting insights and surprises. Happy Reading in 2026 - whatever it may be. Amanda x
