Swinging on a Star by Terry Prone
Being a child TV soap star taught Daisy some lessons at an early age the power of jealousy, and the predictability of human behaviour. Its legacy is a numbing feeling of performing her life, rather than living it. Finally escaping her television role working as an au pair in Paris, her terrible homesickness is forgotten only when she s in the company of David, a quiet, confident, frustrating man who gives nothing away. Then tragedy teaches Daisy that life itself is never predictable, and forces into the surrogate motherhood of two little boys. David, reappearing, is the rock she leans on. Another new presence is the bitter former rival who has hated Daisy since they were eleven years old - a rival who thinks she can drive a wedge between Daisy and the husband she doesn t realise she loves. Or worse.
A confident story, pacy and believable - Irish PressA highly enjoyable read. . A satisfying book with plenty of romance in it, even if that romance looks hopeless at times - Examiner, IrelandLight but never trivial, it casts an acerbic eye on the excesses of the media age, eschews the kind of product name-dropping which so often passes for cleverness - and contains nuggests of hilarity, mostly toddler-related, which would do Bridget Jones proud - The Irish TimesThis warm, original novel is a real tear-jerker - Woman's Own on Racing the Moon
