About A Question of Love
The new novel from the author of THE TRIALS OF TIFFANY TROTT, THE MAKING OF MINTY MALONE, OUT OF THE BLUE, RESCUING ROSE and BEHAVING BADLY.
Sometimes the questions you ask yourself are the hardest ones to answer. Laura Quick’s life is as out of control as her mop of unruly curls. With her more-shabby-than-chic flat on Portobello Road – complete with psychic neighbour – and her work for a chaotic TV company, Laura is anything but conventional. So she’s an unlikely candidate to present a quirky new quiz. But her boss, Tom, sees that her quick-wittedness and her knack for general knowledge make her the ideal choice.
It’s the chance of a lifetime. And, when old-flame Luke turns up out of the blue, Laura’s sisters also think it’s time for Laura to move on and to lay to rest the memory of her husband, Nick. Luke is every bit as charismatic as when he broke her heart. His wit and charm – not to mention his talent for trivia – captivate her once again. But this time round he has a six-year-old daughter in tow – as well as an ex-wife, whose behaviour can be ex-treme. As Laura questions whether to gamble everything on a past love, she must also face up to the unexpected truth about Nick – and the life she thought she once knew....
