Summary
The queen of feel-good fiction!
The brand-new novel from the Sunday Times best-selling author of The Perfectly Imperfect Woman - a gorgeous listen full of love, life and laughter.
Sophie Mayhew looks like she has the perfect life. Wife of rising political star John F Mayhew, a man who is one step away from the top job in the government, her glamour matches his looks, power, breeding and money. But John has made some stupid mistakes along the way, some of which are threatening to emerge. Still, all this can still be swept under the carpet as long as Sophie 'the trophy' plays her part in front of the cameras.
But the words that come out of Sophie’s mouth one morning on the doorstep of their country house are not the words the spin doctors put in there. Bursting out of the restrictive mould she has been in since birth, Sophie flees to a place that was special to her as a child, a small village on the coast where she intends to be alone.
But once there, she finds she becomes part of a community that warms her soul and makes her feel as if she is breathing properly for the first time. Sophie knows she won't be left in peace for long. Now she must decide: where does her real future lie?

Gentle humour and interesting insight
John and her family were horrendous very irritating that she put up with them at all but the heroine was an interesting character with more depth than even she knew

Loved it!
This book is another hit for Milly Johnson.
I struggled with the graphic descriptions of the affair but that's just me!
Colleen Prendergast was as amazing as ever.

Another winner from Milly!
If you require a large dose of feel good medicine you will do well to read The Magnificent Mrs Mayhew followed by all of Milly' s other brilliant titles, if you haven't already done so. A guaranteed warm glow awaits you, and just like her very believable leading ladies maybe you'll feel encouraged to follow your own dreams. Just what the doctor ordered :)
