Love will find a way. A wonderfully romantic novel from the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Recipe for Love, A French Affair and The Perfect Match.

Polly is in her thirties, lives in a small town, has a cat and a Rayburn oven on which she loves to cook.

What more could she need? Certainly not a man.

Besides, Polly’s life is complicated enough. She has her job at the Whole Nut café and a fledgling pottery career she’s trying to get off the ground.

And then she meets David, and before she knows it he has turned her life and all her sensible plans upside down.

Should she yield to his temptations or resist?

After all, and as she has told her mother and friends, love is over-rated. Isn’t it?

Reviews

Fine is a storyteller of brilliance, and this short tragedy is utterly compelling.

—— Kate Saunders - , The Times

Anne Fine is on sparkling form

—— Sunday Times

A sharp sense of danger always crackles in the background whenever Anne Fine writes for adults

—— The Independent

Subtle, nuanced, beguiling and often shocking.It will smash and grab your attention right from the start

—— The Scotsman

Anne Fine's trademark bite is ever-present in this short, sharp and typically dark novel ... leavened with an acute sense of humour

—— The Daily Telegraph

Deploying both wit and daring, Fine pokes away at the cracks in our moral compass with the sharpest of pens

—— Sunday Times

A moving, passionate tale of two people in love

—— Independent

Thanks to generous helpings of corruption, promiscuity, hedonism and celebrity, the Roman Empire feels startlingly modern

—— Psychologies

Elegant, transfixing character-driven historical fiction

—— Financial Times

Her narrative moves in sensuous leisure...the landscape is exquisitely realised

—— Literary Review

Dunmore vividly recreates ancient Roman society...with intricate detail and tormented love, it's a must-read

—— Elle

A big new book by a big new writer. Well done! Harkaway describes The Gone-Away World in words that whiz and ping like bullets ricocheting off the walls of the reader's mind. He's the real thing

—— Russell Hoban

A genuine panoramic, 3D, surround-sound, total-immersion, thrill-factor ten miracle - it is the kind of book that you just don't want to end! ... Engrossing, action-packed ... Very highly recommended
