Looking Past

Beschreibung

Looking Past is a tale of family, friendship, love, life and death - not necessarily in that order. Sarah Marchley is eleven years old when her mother dies. Suffering an acute sense of loss, she and her father continue quietly, communicating far too little. At university, Sarah begins her first serious relationship. Along with her new boyfriend comes his mother, the indomitable Hazel Poole. Despite some misgivings, Sarah finds herself drawn into the matriarchal Poole family and discovers that gaining a mother figure in her life brings mixed blessings. This book will strike a chord with mothers, daughters, and daughters-in-law, everywhere. If you enjoy psychological fiction with a dry sense of humour, this is for you. "Without offering coping mechanisms or advice, this is ultimately an uplifting story about being true to yourself and becoming a mother on your own terms." Today's Child Magazine Looking Past was selected for the People's Book Prize Winter 2015 Collection.

Autor

Katharine E. Smith is the author of ten novels, including the Coming Back to Cornwall series. She is also the founder of Heddon Publishing, working with independent publishers across the globe. A graduate in Philosophy, Katharine initially worked in the IT and charity sectors. She turned to freelance editing in 2009, when she also became a mother, and completed the first draft of Writing the Town Read. It took a further five years to find the confidence to edit and self-publish this first book. In the meantime, the amount and nature of the freelance work developed, as did Katharine's understanding and experience of the world of independent publishing. The natural next step was to create Heddon Publishing. Katharine has worked with 50+ independent and hybrid authors to develop and produce their work, from fiction to non-fiction and from children's books to dark, distinctly adult tales. She has also had a second child, and written and published seven more novels, with the Coming Back to Cornwall series the greatest success of her writing career to date. Katharine lives in Shropshire with her husband and their two children.
