Airs & graces

About this book

Ellen has been living on her own in a picturesque cottage in Cheshire since her husband abandoned her to go and live with another woman in Provence. Having married once for love, she is now determined that the second time around it will be for money. Close at hand is Duncan, her not unattractive, and enticingly single, divorce lawyer. But then two new people enter her life: Jo-Jo, a homeless girl several months pregnant, and Matthew, an artist who paints murals in country houses and who, on his first meeting with Ellen, openly criticizes her for being devious. But as hostility gives way to friendship, Ellen realizes that she has wavered off course from her original plan, and she has to remind herself very strongly indeed that Duncan is the man for her.
