Description

Eve Davies had it all worked out.

A high-flying London barrister with the career, the flat, and the handsome boyfriend – Eve’s life is a masterpiece of control. Then, in the space of a single catastrophic day, all of it comes crashing down: she loses the biggest case of her career, discovers her boyfriend’s betrayal, and learns that the father she hasn’t spoken to in years is missing, presumed dead at sea.

With nowhere left to hide, Eve is forced back to the sleepy seaside town she swore she’d left behind for good. And there’s a catch to the inheritance waiting for her: to receive what her heart most wants, her mother’s precious things, she must spend one full year running her family’s bookshop.

One year. In a town full of eccentric locals, meddling matriarchs and an infuriatingly patient German lodger who sees right through her.

Eve is counting down the days until she can leave.

The trouble is, Littletown has other plans.

Warm, witty, and impossible to put down, CHAPTERS is a story about grief and grace, second chances and found family – and the quiet magic of a place that refuses to let you keep running.

A joyful, tender, gloriously funny novel about starting over, perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan, Marian Keyes, Beth O’Leary and Jojo Moyes.
