From the bestselling author of The Girl in the Corner and Swimming to Lundy, comes a hopeful and inspiring story about the possibilities that await when you dare to start again.
If you’re given another chance at love, shouldn’t you take it?
Enya’s life has become small. Her husband’s death has left her bereft, and though she’s only in her early fifties, she’s happiest looking after her son, Aiden, his childhood sweetheart, Holly, and her beloved cat, Pickle.
So the spark she feels for the stranger who bumps into her car in the airport car park is a complete shock. But Enya can’t stop thinking about him.
Then, when Aiden makes a life-changing decision, Enya suddenly finds her close-knit community thrown into chaos. Her best friend, Jenny, isn’t speaking to her, Aiden’s future hangs in the balance, Holly is devastated, and the stranger from the car park is suddenly in her life.
Torn between family, love and loyalty, Enya faces a stay safely where she is, or take a leap into the unknown? Because maybe her happily-ever-after could have one more chapter yet…
Review:
Tender, sentimental, and optimistic!
Ever After is a charming, uplifting tale that takes you into the life of Enya, a fifty-something widow who, after her son returns from a trip to Italy in love with a new woman, has her life turned upside down when his heartbroken ex-girlfriend happens to be the daughter of her best friend, and the man she bumped into and can’t stop thinking about might just be her son’s new father-in-law.
The writing is warm and fluid. The characters are kind, attentive, and endearing. And the plot is a sweet, heartfelt blend of life, loss, friendship, grief, introspection, drama, community, parenthood, tricky situations, romantic gestures, unconditional love, and new beginnings.
Overall, Ever After is a heartwarming, hopeful, captivating tale by Prowse that is a wonderful reminder that family can be frustrating, messy, secretive, and sometimes hard to love, but they can also be surprising, supportive, loyal, and the only true place that feels like home.
