About this listen

 The first rule of Sunday Lunch Club is … don't make any afternoon plans.

Every few Sundays, Anna and her extended family and friends get together for lunch. They talk, they laugh, they bicker, they eat too much. Sometimes the important stuff is left unsaid, other times it's said in the wrong way.

Sitting between her ex-husband and her new lover, Anna is coming to terms with an unexpected pregnancy at the age of forty. Also at the table are her ageing grandmother, her promiscuous sister, her flamboyantly gay brother and a memory too terrible to contemplate.

Until, that is, a letter arrives from the person Anna scarred all those years ago. Can Anna reconcile her painful past with her uncertain future?

Juliet Ashton weaves a story of love, friendship and community that will move you to laughter and to tears. Think Cold Feet meets David Nicholls, with a dash of the joy of Jill Mansell added for good measure.©2018 Juliet Ashton (P)2018 Simon & Schuster UK Contemporary Fiction Fiction Genre Fiction Feel-Good Heartfelt Funny

This is a Good light hearted Rom-com. Just what I needed in between home schooling during Lockdown. Nice bit of escapism 💕

Good book

I’ve not ever read a book like this one. The best way to ‘almost’ describe it, is an extended, detailed, intimate, eating Royle Family! If you’re British, you’ll know exactly what I mean! It’s not as hilariously funny, but it’s dysfunctional family life done well.

I think that the only character that I really didn’t warm to, was Maeve, the younger sister, can’t say why though... !
