Daisy Buchanan

'Funny, tender & relatable at every level... quite simply, wonderful' Jennie Godfrey 
 
After thirty long years, Louisa’s daughters can finally look after themselves … or so she thinks. 
 
Because suddenly, they’re back – apparently for good. Meg’s second-guessing her marriage. Jo’s career hangs in the balance. Amy has inexplicably quit university. None of them empty the dishwasher. 
 
Louisa knows it’s time for some life lessons. She adores her girls, but if she’s ever going to get her (sex) life back, they’ll have to grow up – and go. 
 
But maybe they’re not the only ones with lessons to learn… And Louisa might just discover that her daughters have something to teach her about being an adult too.

All Grown Up

Katherine Arden

Anne of Brittany was a child when her land was invaded, her castle besieged, and her royal father driven to his death. 
 
Now Brittany is occupied by her enemies, her treasury empty, and only one thing is lacking to complete her realm’s subjugation: she is required, on pain of the sword, to marry the King of France. 
 
But Anne cannot. She has promised her dead father that Brittany would never be conquered. 
 
Defiantly, she betroths herself in secret to France’s greatest enemy. But in a world where courts may spy on each other by magic, there is only one way to solemnize this illicit union. 
 
Under the guise of a hunting party, Anne takes her court deep into a deep forest, a strange place dogged with rumours of ancient enchantments; a place where diviners cannot see. She tells the French that she had gone there to hunt unicorns. 
 
It’s a ruse, a lie, a feint. 
 
But when, against all expectations, a unicorn does appear and a wounded stranger stumbles from the trees and falls at her feet, Anne is plunged into a world of enchantment where a doomed sovereign might find the power to change the destiny of her nation - or be lost in the mist for ever.
