In this addictive short story collection, 24 very different women reach a pivotal moment in their lives.

A widow is liberated by a new job but keeps it secret from her family. A date in suburbia has dramatic results. A seamstress takes revenge on an unsuspecting customer while in France, a mother is promised 'fantastic news' - and lets her imagination run away with her. 

With each story, Jenny Eclair introduces a fascinating new character. And behind each woman lies a gripping tale - of betrayal, of love, of hope and defiance. 

Funny, heartbreaking, inspiring - and packed with wicked one-liners - this wonderful collection shows Jenny Eclair's exceptional talent for observation at its very best. Based on Jenny Eclair's Radio 4 series, Little Lifetimes.

Jenny is both a brilliant writer and narrator. I love all her books. This collection of stories is fab. Some read by other narrators but all superb with some lovely twists and some funny narrative. Loved them all.

I adore Jenny Eclairs writing. Listened to this all in one go as I completed tasks at home. Some chapters appear in little lifetimes but I didn’t mind hearing them again.

Anything she writes will get my attention x
