Anywhere but Here



A deliciously drama-packed novel with a lot of heart

A fun, escapist story about marriage - what makes it work and how do you know if it's what you really want ...

Meet Matilda, an Irish breakfast TV presenter, Jen, a yoga teacher/artist and Sadie, Matilda’s sister-in-law and disillusioned journalist. Early in the story Matilda and Jen marriages hit crisis points, while Matilda faces searching questions about why she’s always avoided commitment.
