Haste to the Wedding

Beschreibung

The Nankervises are planning a wedding. As one might expect from such a dysfunctional family, chaos and confusion reign - the bride's mother has disowned her, her father is about to release an entire cattery of cats among the pigeons, her sister is fighting to save her marriage she isn't sure she wants any more, and to top everything off nicely, the groom is heading for a breakdown. Amidst the chaos, Oliver and Chel, in unusual roles for them as the family's one stable element, try to maintain at least the illusion of order. In Oliver's case, this simply means he disappears into his studio and paints while the storm rages past him, but Chel finds herself running a pub. As with the others in the series, although each stands on its own, there are threads throughout this book that lead towards the next. To find out what happens next, LOOKING for HENRY will take the story on for you.

Autor

Jane Hatton was a child during World War II, and grew up in the unpermissive fifties, when career options for women were largely confined to Secretary, Nurse, Teacher, Physiotherapist. She opted for the first, thinking the skills required would be useful in her preferred career as a writer, but has also worked in hotels, as a sailing instructor, in a craft workshop and as a cookery demonstrator - a remarkably unstructured career - while continuing to write whenever there was a spare moment: sometimes there were not many! She has had two children's books published in the mainstream (a while ago now), followed by three novels in the genre of "literary fiction", plus The One Too Awful to Mention - which we don't mention - and has also independently published a long series about the Nankervis family and their friends and relations, all set in various areas of the West Country. Apart from writing, her interests include sailing, painting - including at one time scenery for the local pantomime - archaeology, photography and cooking. She lives in Cornwall, on her own these days, with a small black cat for company and a background of family and friends.
