Family Matters

Ellie O’Neill

Allen & Unwin

Set in Ireland, this is an entertaining warm-hearted story about three generations of women all facing struggles at different times of their lives.

Grandmother Evie is sure death is coming for her – she has the gift of second sight, and at the same time an old flame returns to her life.

Evie’s daughter, Yvonne, owns the local pub and loves her life there, but she is hiding a secret she is ashamed to share.

Yvonne’s daughter Molly is married with two young sons, sleep deprived, exhausted and questioning her life and marriage. While Rosie, Yvonne’s youngest daughter, has created a new dating app DeLuvGuru with her amazing techno whiz new boyfriend Simon – who suddenly disappears.

This is a funny easy read, great for a winter weekend, reminding us that life doesn’t always work out how we want, but that family are always very important.
