Review:
From the Back Cover:
Acclaim for The Longing:
‘If Jane Asher were not already famous, this book would make her so... here, at last, is a star who can write’
Daily Express
‘Her book is topical, emotion-charged... grips from the first page... Asher brilliantly lays bare the torment endured by the unintentionally childless’
Val Hennessy, Daily Mail
‘Thought-provoking, polished and professional’
The Times
All she wanted was a baby. Was that so much to ask? A baby to nourish in her body, to give birth with pain and pleasure, to adore. A baby to suckle and care for, to clean and cuddle and comfort. A baby to make her whole and complete. But her womb was empty and its emptiness filled her days and her nights, invaded her dreams, determined every waking thought. A baby. All she wanted was a baby...
Jane Asher's first novel is a gripping realisation of a desire that becomes an obsession, an agony that changes the lives of everyone who is touched by it...
