Rated 0

Ireland, Fiction, Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)

Fans of Helen Fielding's BRIDGET JONES or Maria Semple's WHERE'D YOU GO, BERNADETTE? will love this hilarious novel about the lives and loves of a far-from-perfect modern superwoman...

Liddy James is forty-four, fit, and fabulous. A top divorce attorney, a bestselling author, and a mother of two, she glides effortlessly through the courtrooms and salons of Manhattan. Despite her own devastating divorce from her first love Peter, Liddy has formed a modern family with him and his new partner, Rose, to raise a truculent teen and Liddy's adorable, if fatherless, six-year-old. With her impoverished childhood far behind her, to the outside world Liddy's life is perfect.

Until it isn't.

When a series of domestic and professional glitches send her carefully-tended world spinning towards meltdown, Liddy decides it's time she and the boys retrace her family's history and take some time off in Ireland. But marooned in the Celtic countryside things still aren't what they seem, and Liddy will have to negotiate some surprising turns in the road before she's willing to admit that even she might have forgotten just how to be The Real Liddy James.
