In Her Shoes

Jennifer Weiner

Rose Feller is thirty; a successful lawyer with high hopes of a relationship with Jim, Mr Not-Quite-Right, a senior partner in her firm. The last thing she needs is her messed-up, only occasionally employed sister Maggie moving in: drinking, smoking, stealing her money - and her shoes - and spoiling her chance of romance. If only Maggie would grow up and settle down with a nice guy and a steady job.

Maggie is drop dead gorgeous and irresistible to men. She's going to make it big as a TV presenter, or a singer, or an actress. All she needs is a lucky break. What she doesn't need is her uptight sister Rose interfering in her life. If only Rose would lighten-up, have some fun - and learn how to use a pair of tweezers.

Rose and Maggie think they have nothing in common but a childhood tragedy, shared DNA and the same size feet, but they are about to find out that they're more alike than they's ever believe."

Rooks Nest

June Barraclough

“The time is the mid-nineteenth century and Meta Moore is living with her adopted Aunt Augusta, at Hartsedge Hall in Yorkshire. Her dream is to return to Rooks Nest, the house where she was born – and where her mother died – with its lake and neglected gardens. Her obsession with the place does not diminish as she reaches adolescence and meets her first object of affection: Lavinia Logan, a “woman of the world” who comes to teach at her aunt’s school; nor later when she goes away from home as a governess to a Jewish family and whilst these falls passionately in love with a young musician, Daniel Reiss. Never a conformist, Meta has a painful gorwing up before she is able to discover happiness.” – book cover.
