| How To Lose a Husband and Gain a Life |
'An absolute treat. Bernadette Strachan is such a natural, feel-good writer – it's impossible not to love her characters!' Louise Candlish ‘Warm, funny and witty How To Lose a Husband and Gain a Life is everything you want from a good book and in Ruby Gallagher presents you with the kind of lead character you’ll wish you could make your new best friend!’ Mike Gayle ‘Bernadette's novel is so funny, so sharp and such a great read’ Jenny Colgan Ruby Gallagher has it all; art deco mansion in Esher, walk-in wardrobe, account at Tiffany’s and an adoring husband, Manny, who’ll do anything for his “Babes”. But her blissfully meaningless existence is cut shorter than Posh’s new ‘do’ when she wakes one morning to the sound of three CID officers hammering down her front door, and her sheepish husband being carted off in cuffs, with nothing but a Homer Simpson hot water bottle to preserve his modesty… Reeling from the discovery that he’s been playing with the female staff, as well as the accounts, Ruby soon discovers that every tax evasion has a silver lining… and this one comes in the shape of a million pound penthouse in London, purchased in her name. Leaving her cosy suburban life behind, Ruby faces the stark reality of life on her own and sets off to the city to do something she’s never had to do before, look after number one. But she quickly realises that losing her husband wasn’t necessarily a bad thing… if only he’d see it that way. Sphere is thrilled to be publishing Bernadette Strachan’s fifth novel How to Lose a Husband and Gain a Life in spring 2009. Full of warmth and wit and wonderful characters, this is feel good fiction at its finest that will appeal to fans of Jill Mansell, Katie Fforde and Harriet Evans. Bernadette Strachan is the author of The Reluctant Landlady, Handbags and Halos, Diamonds and Daisies and Little White Lies (published by Hodder). |
