Shooting At The Stars

Caroline Blake longs for a night under a cloud-free sky with the telescope of her dreams. Busy, happily single, and passionate about her hobby, her life is as ordered as the science classes she teaches. Lizzy Carter is living the life she'd longed for. With a lively young family, an adoring husband, good friends, and almost enough money, she appears to have it all. Antonia Clarke is a divorcee with a teenage daughter, an ailing car, an obstinate mother and a lodger she needs to placate. She longs for twenty-four uneventful hours - but the gods have other plans. When the engaging Tom Grainger moves into each of the women's lives, things start to change. Three women whose paths have already crossed, find their fates are about to collide.

Reviews

Romantic comedy at it's best

—— The Western Mail

As Kipling was to the secrets of the jungle, so is Baker to modern domesticity, equally ready with fascinating observation

—— Daily Telegraph

There is a good deal more everyday wonder here than in a hundred original miscellanies

—— Observer

This might be Baker's best yet - you're in for a treat

—— Evening Standard

Like the small, agreeable sensations it so deftly evokes, this modestly scaled story is a pleasure that can add cheer to an entire day

—— Spectator

Utterly convincing and compelling ... A stunning feat of the imagination and an absolute must-read

—— Steven Pressfield

Denys Johnson-Davies...the leading Arabic-English translator of our time

—— Edward Said
