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...
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...
