This Beautiful Life

KATIE MARSH

(HODDER & STOUGHTON, £7.99) Abi’s in remission having battled cancer and won, but while she’s been ill, her family has been slowly falling apart at the seams. Her husband John is distant and feels like a stranger, while her teenage son Seb is keeping a secret that’s clearly destroying him from the inside out. Does Abi have it in her to put everyone back together, or is it too late? We found ourselves laughing and crying while reading this raw, real and moving novel, but the overwhelming feeling was one of heartfelt joy. Bursting with warmth, honesty, poignancy, love and wonderful depth, this book more than cements Marsh’s bestseller
