About the Book

From the bestselling author of An Englishwoman in New York, Anne-Marie Casey's new novel tells the story of top New York divorce attorney, regular contributor to the Huffington Post, best-selling author, wife and mother of two, Liddy James, 44 and fabulous, who thinks she's seen all of the poignant, humorous and often bizarre turns Manhattan marriage can take. But with an enviable lifestyle and a handsome, younger house-husband Sam, Liddy indulges in a fatal moment of hubris by announcing in the Style Section of the New York Times that 'she doesn't do guilt', and that second time around she's got the man and the motherhood thing right. Sam ditches Liddy, threatening to sue her for full custody of their young son, using all the legal precedents she has established. Broke, bereft and terrified of losing her adorable five year old boy, suddenly Liddy becomes a full time single parent to her not-at-all adorable thirteen year old one. She can't cope. Not at all. With her brilliant career in tatters, Liddy takes her two sons and escapes for the summer to a remote house in Montauk owned by her arch rival Sebastian Shackallan, an Irish attorney whom she disliked on first sight. Set in Manhattan, Montauk and the middle of the Irish countryside, Liddy's picaresque progress is full of the humour and energy of a screwball comedy, but is also a warm, emotionally involving and brutally honest examination of the complex choices and complicated lives of contemporary women.

About the Author :
Anne-Marie Casey was a script editor and producer of prime-time television drama for ten years before becoming a writer full time. She has written scripts for films and television series in the UK and Ireland and her stage adaptation of Little Women was staged at the Gate Theatre in Dublin in 2011. An Englishwoman in New York, her first book, was inspired by her experiences living in Manhattan with her family and her love/love relationship with the City. She is married to the novelist Joseph O'Connor. They now live in Dublin, Ireland, with their two sons.

Review :
Praise for AN ENGLISHWOMAN IN NEW YORK: Very smart, very savvy and very very funny Very sophisticated, emotionally intelligent, full of fascinating characters... I was gripped from the start. There are shades of Sex and The City... but it's so much more than that. These characters are more real, more likeable, more interesting and much, much funnier. I couldn't have loved it any more. Buy this book immediately. - Daily Mail Fabulously clever, brilliantly observed Sophisticated, witty, with a sharp eye for the ridiculous. I loved it! Readers will find themselves on these pages and revel in the connection . . . I loved it Witty and sassy . . . a smart, funny book . . . Sex and the City but for grown-ups - Sunday Express Grown-up, superior chick lit: full of wit and clever observations on the cultural differences between London and New York, but also on friendship between women - Lady Witty and scalpel sharp . . . Casey's debut leaves the reader wanting more - Publishers' Weekly
