Description: When your husband moves out, move your best friends in...
Amanda Wilkie unexpectedly finds herself alone with her three children in a rambling Victorian house in London. Her husband leaves them, claiming he's just 'lost the love', like one might carelessly lose a glove.
A few months later, Amanda's heavily pregnant friend, Ali, crashes into her kitchen announcing her husband is also leaving. So, after Ali's baby Grace is born, they both move into Amanda's attic. And when Jacqui, a long-lost friend and fellow single mum, starts dropping by daily, the household is complete.
Getting divorced is no walk in the park, but the three friends refuse to be defined by it. And, as they slowly emerge out of the wreckage like a trio of sequin-clad Gloria Gaynors singing 'I Will Survive', they realize that anything is possible. Even loving again... Based on Janet's true story, The Single Mums' Mansion is a laugh-out-loud tour de force which will make you laugh, cry and treasure your best friends even more than before.
My Thoughts: The first in a series by new to me author Janet Hoggarth about the power of friendship and laughter to get you through the pain of divorce and healing your life to build again. The story started out very slow for me and dragged in several places, but I am glad I stuck with it as it turned out to be a good read. I liked the characters and found them easy to relate to and cheer for.
Readers who enjoy stories featuring characters rising above the ashes of the chaos, pain and destruction in their lives and being empowered to move forward stronger than before will enjoy this offering.
