After Shirley Valentine, after The First Wives Club and hot on the naked heels of Calendar Girls... there was The New Mrs D! Four days into their honeymoon in Greece, Bernice and David Dando have yet to consummate their marriage. Learning that the love of her life is addicted to porn − the reason for his almost non-existent desire for sex throughout their relationship − is devastating, but 'every man does it; it’s just looking, right?’ If she leaves the relationship because of virtual adultery, will she be labelled as pathological, overreacting, or even worse, frigid? When funny, feisty, forty-something Bernice plans the trip of a lifetime, she doesn’t expect to be spending it alone. But as it turns out, unintentionally contributing to a Greek fish explosion, nude karaoke and hilarious misadventures with volcanoes are exactly what she needs to stop fretting about errant husbands and really start living. When Mr D tries to win her back, Bernice has a decision to make: is this a holiday from her humdrum life, or the start of a whole new adventure? This is a story about one woman's midlife awakening . . . on her honeymoon alone. "The New Mrs D is a refreshing, sharp-witted and empowering romp that reflects real life, delves into unspoken about subjects and slaps the reader in the face with honesty." Fleur Ferris, author "...a humorous and cleverly written story with characters that jump off the page and a plot that will keep you engaged until the last page." - Lisa O'Meary, Chick Lit Club "Ms Hill whisks off to the Greek Islands for a colourful adventure. She takes us on a sensory journey where we soak up the hot sun, drink in the fragrant wine and cradle our temples as Binnie flings her flip flop at us from a speeding scooter" ”" Talesfromabruceeyeview "The perfect setting for a hilarious update to Eat Pray Love" - Tara Gladden Cornerstones 'Watch out Jane Green and Helen Fielding! There's a new novelist from your side of the pond.' - Annie McDonnell, Chick Lit Plus ‘The New Mrs D by Heather Hill had me laughing from page one. I totally identified with Binnie and so "got it". Heather's light, chatty writing style is refreshingly real and she has all the hallmarks of a truly great story teller. This is a woman's story. It's hysterically funny, empowering and truthful. I hope we see more excellent stories from Heather Hill - anyone who can make me laugh in the opening paragraph and maintain it, has my undivided attention. She's a gifted author. This book could so easily become a box office smash. I hope someone decides to make The New Mrs D into that film.’ - Claire Smith - 1st Assistant Director @ GFox Productions Views: 7
