Olivia's Luck: Catherine Alliott

Curl up on the sofa with this tantalising rural romantic comedy about taking control of your life from the bestselling author of A Cornish Summer

`I don`t care what colour you paint the sodding hall. I`m leaving.`

When her husband Johnny suddenly walks out on ten years of marriage, their ten-year-old daughter and the crumbling house they`re up to their eyeballs renovating, Olivia is at first totally devastated. How could he? How could she not have noticed his unhappiness?

But she`s not one to weep for long.

Not when she`s got three builders camped in her back garden, a neighbour with a never-ending supply of cast-off men she thinks Olivia would be drawn to and a daughter with her own firm views on . . . well, just about everything.

Will Johnny ever come back?

And if he doesn`t, will Olivia`s luck ever change for the better?
