It Happened One Summer by Polly Williams

It Happened One Summer by Polly Williams

A funny, poignant page-turner about family dysfunctions, coming of age and forgiving your mother. And falling in love...Nell Stockdale is in a pretty good place, managing to combine a full-on career with single motherhood, a lovely flat, great girlfriends, and a sexy younger man on the scene. But her mother is very ill. Will she return to the family's large, damp Cornish farmhouse to care for her? Normally Nell keeps her family at arm's length. Her sister is engaged to Nell's ex big love, and she has never got on with her eccentric, distant mother. But something powerful is pulling her back to Cornwall...

Polly Williams grew up in Oxford and, having studied English at university, was drawn to journalism. She created her first job by launching a fashion magazine (now defunct). After that she worked at Frank, Punch, You and Instyle, whilst writing for other publications. When Polly got pregnant, she decided to take an early maternity leave to begin writing her novel. Instead, on the night of her leaving party, her waters broke, scuppering her plans. THE RISE AND FALL OF THE YUMMY MUMMY did get written, eventually, and Polly hasn't looked back since.
