An utter ray of sunshine. Red. Hilarious, heartwarming. 5 reader review. Ever been a small-town girl trying to make a life in the big city? Meet twenty-something Aisling - that's pronounced Ashling - she can barely boil an egg, let alone figure out what night bus to catch home. But she's got a job in the big city, a flat, and a boyfriend. She has an umbrella for rainy days, an electric blanket for cold nights, and keeps her kitten heels firmly on the ground. Until the day she accidentally ditches her only slightly useless boyfriend John and finds herself in a spot of bother at work. Is it time to pack up and go back to the sticks? Or can Aisling fix the mess she's made? What's a complete Aisling to do? Sweet, funny, moving... perfect. The Pool. A great big thumping heart. Sunday Times. You'll shed a tear as well as laugh your socks off. Fabulous. A riot of a novel. 5 reader review.
