Forlagsbeskrivelse af On The Edge af Sarah Turner
The hilarious and heart-wrenching new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of STEPPING UP and THE UNMUMSY MUM. *******************'Pure joy' Glamour Sometimes, in order to move forward, you need to go back. Joni’s always felt like an outsider in her blended family, and as an adult she’s done all she can to avoid them. The only person she’s remained close to is her beloved Nana. When Nana dies, she leaves behind something unexpected: an itinerary of pre-arranged activities for the whole family to complete over the course of a week. After years of trying but failing to bring Joni back into the fold, this appears to be Nana’s parting shot. After all, nothing says ‘family bonding’ quite like abseiling and ballroom dancing. With marriage and kids on the horizon, the life Joni’s always dreamed of is finally within touching distance. The last thing she wants to do is revisit the past. But Joni’s about to discover that a lot can happen in seven days. Nana’s Week of Fun is about to change everything…Praise for Sarah Turner and On the Edge'sarah writes so well and creates characters that jump off the page, and On The Edge had me laughing and crying in all the best ways' --Clare Mackintosh, bestselling author of THE LAST PARTY‘Sarah Turner writes family like no one else.
