In this charming romantic comedy, an aspiring artist weathers divorce, manslaughter, her eccentric family, and dating in her forties.
CharlotteโCharlieโRhymerโs husband wants a divorce. Charlie isnโt sure what she wants now, but after the incident with the frying pan, even she must concede that their differences may be irreconcilable after all. Returning home to her native Yorkshire and the bosom of her family seemed like a good idea at the time. Even if Charlieโs father has never quite forgiven Charlie or her siblings (Anne, Emily and Branwell) for failing to live up to their more literary (as in Brontรซ) namesakes.
Upvale Parsonage, the family home to which Charlie has retreated, is presided over by her sister Em. Emโs hobbies are composing inspirational verses, dabbling in the Ancient Black Arts, and fighting off the incursions of Fatherโs latest mistress. When the current mistress actually moves in, family loyalties are sorely tried. Still, Charlie is determined to bounce back from disaster and strike a blow for deserted older wives everywhere. But when she meets brooding actor Mace North, she realizes that when it comes to dating for the over-forty crowd, female solidarity be damnedโitโs every woman for herself!
Sure to delight both Brontรซ fans and readers who like a good laugh with their romance, Trisha Ashleyโs first book to be published in the United States is a welcome treat.
Praise for Every Woman for Herself
โShrewd but gentle satire of various contemporary British types that never misses a beat. And itโs wonderfully funny to boot.โ โKirkus Reviews (starred review)
โGiggles, guffaws, chortles, and chuckles abound in Ashleyโs cleverly satirical send-up of upper-class British snobbery and soap-opera stardom that is truly laugh-out-loud funny.โ โBooklist
