If you belong to the 'sandwich generation' then 'Mum and Dad' by Joanna Trollope is a must! And I am delighted to be discussing this great book with a fellow sandwich generation member - my gorgeous friend Sally Seymour. What's It About? It's been twenty-five years since Gus and Monica left England to start a new life in Spain, building a vineyard and wine business from the ground up. However, when Gus suffers a stroke and their idyllic Mediterranean life is thrown into upheaval, it's left to their three grown-up children in London to step in - and this is where it gets complicated. About Joanna TrollopeJoanna Trollope is the queen of contemporary women's fiction and is very tuned in to the issues of her devoted, predominantly female readership. She has a real knack for honing in on the complexities of life and love and has included the themes of lust, adoption, divorce, infidelity and the changing nature of the modern family in her 30 plus novels! Some of her earlier novels were written under the pseudonym Caroline Harvey. Mum and Dad is her latest novel. Check out the show notes on the website here for more details.Alex x
