Closure
A sparklingly original, funny and very contemporary novel about a woman confronting the disappointments of her past. Life less than perfect? Want to do something about it? It's easy... Nothing's working for Anna. She's always obsessing over the wrong men; her social life embarrasses her; she lives in a condemned flat and her career is in a cul-de-sac. She knows she deserves a Notting Hill, loft-apartment existence, with a cupboard for everything and a couch filled with beautiful friends. So where did it all go wrong? Even Anna's new job in radio, working on Pammy's Problem Call, is a problem. But it does give her the opportunity to meet Sean -- Harrison Ford-handsome self-help guru to the stars. He untangles people's lives, shows how they can go back, put past mistakes right and move on. People like Anna. All she has to do is achieve Closure and everything will be exactly how she wants it...won't it?

Wasting Time
A satirical debut novel dissecting the progress in love and work of three young women in contemporary London. Widely reviewed and discussed on original publication for its acerbic view of the world of television news. A highly perceptive insight into the lives of young women in today's supposedly 'post-feminist' society. 'A brave attempt to come clean about the way that many young women feel now about the career/motherhood/domesticity dilemma. Light, funny and very readable. The conclusions to be drawn about the complex expectations and desires of modern life are potent. An impressive and entertaining debut, Wasting Time will strike a frightening chord with anyone who has found herself in the office at 9 o'clock on a Friday night yearning for the life her mother had.' Times '1998's answer to Bridget Jones's Diary, Wasting Time is a pre-requisite for every thirty-something. It's a hilarious and perceptive account of three very different women obsessed with relationships, careers and working wardrobes. A well-crafted debut from a writer with a razor-sharp wit and a power of observation that's spot-on.' 'Book of the Month', Sunday Post

Island Doctor

The book will interest a variety of readers, including general historians, medical historians, social historians, historians with an interest in the Atlantic provinces, physicians, and academic libraries.
