The Two Week Wait by Sarah Rayner

The Two Week Wait by Sarah Rayner

A memorable and moving page-turner about two very different women, each yearning to create a family of her own

What if the thing you most longed for was resting on a two week wait? From the author of the international bestselling One Moment, One Morning, comes a moving portrait about what it truly means to be a family.

After a health scare, Brighton-based Lou is forced to confront the fact that her time to have a baby is running out. She can't imagine a future without children, but her partner doesn't seem to feel the same way, and she's not sure whether she could go it alone.

Meanwhile, in Yorkshire, Cath is longing to start a family with her husband, Rich. No one would be happier to have children than Rich, but Cath is infertile.

Could these strangers help one another?

With her deft exploration of raw emotions and her celebration of the joy and resilience of friendship, The Two Week Wait is Sarah Rayner at her best.

Sarah Rayner is the author of five books, including the international hit One Moment, One Morning, as well as the sequels The Two Week Wait and Another Night, Another Day. Friendship is a recurring theme in Sarah's novels and non-fiction books. Making Friends with Anxiety, a friendly and supportive small book to help reduce stress and fear, was published in 2014.
