Ordinary Miracles by Grace Wynne-Jones
Jasmine Smith will be forty next month and not ready for it; married to a man she likes and not prepared to give up on love; smothered by life's mundanity, and yet drawn towards its mystery. She wants the sort of love that makes her feel more alive, she wants wild sex in stalled lifts with film stars. She wants something else...Jasmine Smith is in desperate need of a miracle. And with the help of an adventurous school friend, a man called Charlie and a pig called Rosie she is about to find one. This work is a sharp, funny, moving novel and an exhilarating invitation to step out of quiet desperation and re-discover the magic in life and in love.

OK MAGAZINE 'She has an assured style and a wonderful insight into the separated lady's lot...I couldn't put it down. I literally read it from cover to cover.' Muriel Bolger, 'No Jacket Required' RTE Radio One 'Beautiful, tender and funny, written with great perception... a remarkable novel.' Katie Fforde 'Wonderfully dry...I really enjoyed it.' Catherine Alliott
