Released 2nd July 2006
Harriets debut novel, Going Home garnered praise from everyone from Jilly Cooper to Sophie Kinsella and Sainsburys magazine to the Daily Mirror. With a talent for creating a cast characters who will have you entranced and entertained in equal measure, Harriet Evans has confirmed her place as a leading voice in female fiction.
Laura was a hopelessly hopeful romantic. Cupids arrow was always just around the corner and the look of love was forever pasted across her face. But there are only so many disastrous relationships a girl can take; the budding theatre director (gay), the romantic poet (psychopath turned SAS recruit), the passionate Colombian (illegal immigrant) all failed to be her Prince Charming, Mr Right, or even, lets face it, normal.
After her latest entanglement ends particularly horribly, Laura looks to escape her broken hearted existence by going on holiday. Unfortunately, it ends up being with her parents and grandmother armed with a jam-packed itinerary of visits to National Trust properties and Norfolk craft shops.
Distraction appears in the form of Nick, the prickly but sexy estate manager at Chartley Hall. They have good banter, witty repartee (well, it makes them laugh) and a chemistry which would definitely earn an A grade but do they have any kind of future? Or will Laura be forever cursed with a talent for picking the losers in love?
Praise for GOING HOME: enchanting Jilly Cooper extremely entertaining as cosy and British as a Richard Curtis film Heat a great rom com packed with intrigue and suspense New Woman a witty first novel that zips along Woman and Home fabulous...I loved it Sophie Kinsella
