Rose Petal Soup

'This is the story of a long and loving marriage - and what it takes to shake it. Joss and Nico were made for each other; they've weathered his peccadilloes and her bouts of 'the blues' - but nothing they've been through has prepared them for the man their daughter marries, and the consequent fall-out, especially for Joss...

In this book I wanted to capture the mood and mores of the so-called Saga generation, who enter their seventh decade with a spring in their step and a gleam in the eye, but who are nonetheless vulnerable to all the usual emotional banana skins. This was also an opportunity to look again at the rich, rewarding - and sometimes shocking - business of family life, this time in the unpredictable noughties.
