The Love of Her Life - Tapa dura

Praise for Harriet Evans: 'Enchanting' Jilly Cooper 'Fabulous!I loved it' Sophie Kinsella A joy from start to finish -- sharp, funny and modern as well as warm, cuddly and nostalgic' Fiona Walker. 'A gorgeously feel-good book to snuggle up with in front of the fire' Heat A lovely, funny heart-warmer!Evans' heightened comic style and loveable characters make it effortlessly readable' Marie Claire 'Events and characters fairly leap off the page in this touching, engrossing and convincing novel. It's a rollicking ride of joy, disappointment and self-discovery, which you'll want to devour in one sitting' Daily Telegraph 'Will warm you up like a brandy on a winter's night...witty, entertaining, self-reflective and full of characters you'll grow to love' Heat

You've got the life of your dreams - until tragedy brings it all crashing down...Kate Miller re-made herself from a geeky teenager into the image of modern woman, with a career in glossy magazines, a wedding to plan and a flatmate who was her best friend. Then it all fell apart - spectacularly, painfully and forever. Ever since, she's hidden in New York, working as a dogsbody for a literary agency. But when her father becomes ill, she has to return to London and face everything she left behind. She spends time with her upstairs neighbour, Mr Allan, an elderly widower, taking long walks along London's canals and through leafy streets. And she visits her adored but demanding father. But eventually she has to face her friends - Zoe, Francesca and Mac - the friends who are bound together with her forever, as a result of one day when life changed for all of them. Mac is the man she thought was the love of her life. Now they don't speak. Can Kate pick up the pieces and allow herself to love her life again?
