She thinks that her life is running smoothly, until Paul makes the shock announcement that he wants to settle down and start a family. Although stunned at first, Alix begins to come round to the idea but Paul has a second bombshell to deliver: he never saw Alix as part of that plan.

Isobel's Wedding - Sheila O'Flanagan

***The Plot*** Isobel is looking forward to marrying Tim ... until he backs out of the wedding with cold feet. A shell-shocked Isobel tries to piece things back together and thinks that she is doing a good job. Her boss has other ideas though and tactfully suggests that she apply for an administrative job based in Madrid. Is this the change that she needs to really get her life back on track? ***The Characters*** For the most part, Isobel is a likeable character who commands a large degree of sympathy through her obvious pain at having her wedding cancelled a fortnight before the big day, and then being dumped too. There are moments though when she starts to irritate ...

Yours, Faithfully - Sheila O'Flanagan

Sheila O'Flanagan has been a favourite author of mine for quite some time now and 'Yours, Faithfully' is the latest in a long line of her novels. She is an Irish writer and all her contemporary novels are based around Dublin and this always seems to provide an interesting backdrop to the tales she tells. At the beginning of 'Yours, Faithfully' we meet Iona Brannon. She has been happily married to her husband Frank, who she wed in the Carribean, for the last five years. They are desperately trying for a baby to make their family complete - although unfortunately Iona has just discovered that she is not pregnant this month. Iona and Frank have a very strong idyllic marriage even ...
