Book Club: Love lost. Love found. Two love(ly) new books to enjoy

Cathy Kelly and Jojo Moyes ... two of our favourite authors. Happy days indeed!

Other Women by Cathy Kelly

Three women. Three secrets. Three tangled lives…

Sid wears her independence like armour. So when she strikes up a rare connection with unlucky-in-love Finn, they are both determined to prove that men and women can just be friends. Can’t they? Marin has the perfect home, attentive husband, two beloved children – and a secret addiction to designer clothes. She knows she has it all, so why can’t she stop comparing herself to other women?

Bea believes that we all have one love story – and she’s had hers. Now her life centres around her son, Luke, and her support group of fierce single women.

A lovely, warm, wise story that proves in marriage, love and friendship, there’s always another side to the story. Orion, available at Exclusive Books

The Last Letter from your Lover by Jojo Moyes

The Last Letter from your Lover is about to made into a major motion picture streaming on Netflix … with star includiing Felicity Jones, Shailene Woodley, Callum Turner, Nabhaan Rizwan and Joe Alwyn.

But don’t wait … read the book first (always best, don’t you think?). Particularly when it’s a double love story spanning forty years. In 1960, Jennifer wakes up in the hospital after a car accident, with no memory. Not of the accident, her husband, her friends, or even who she is.  But when she gets home, she finds a hidden letter … a love letter, signed B, asking her to meet him at the station and run away with him.

Fast forward twenty or so years and journalist Ellie finds the same letter in a file in the newspaper’s archives, and is instantly caught up in the intrigue of this past love affair. She’s looking for the happy ending … no doubt also due to her involvement with a married man.

Love, loss … and could there be happily ever after? Hodder, available at Exclusive Books
