For fans of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and Queenie MaloneтАЩs Paradise Hotel, comes a story about mothers, daughters and second chances . . .
ItтАЩs 1981. Eleven-year-old Sadie adores her beautiful and vibrant mother, Connie, whose dreams of making it big as a singer fill their tiny house in Leeds. ItтАЩs always been just the two of them. Until the unthinkable happens.
Jean hasnтАЩt seen her good-for-nothing daughter Connie since she ran away from the family home in Harlow тАУ or Pram Town as its inhabitants affectionately call it тАУ aged seventeen and pregnant.
But in the wake of the Royal Wedding, Jean gets a life-changing call: could she please come and collect the granddaughter sheтАЩs never met?
We all know how Charles and Diana turned out, and Jean and Sadie are hardly a match made in heaven тАУ but is there hope of a happy ending for them?
Written in Joanna NadinтАЩs trademark dazzling prose, The Talk of Pram Town tells the story of three generations of Earnshaws and asks whether it always has to be like mother, like daughter . . .
