Synopsis
When Lou Winter picks up a dog-eared magazine in the dentist's waiting room and spots an article about clearing clutter, she little realises how it will change her life. What begins as an earnest spring clean soon spirals out of control. Before long Lou is hiring skips in which to dump the copious amounts of junk she never knew she had. Lou's loved ones grow disgruntled. Why is clearing out cupboards suddenly more important than making his breakfast, her husband Phil wonders? The truth is, the more rubbish Lou lets go of, the more light and air can get to those painful, closed-up places at the centre of her heart: the love waiting for a baby she would never have, the empty space her best friend Deb once occupied, and the gaping wound left by her husband's affair. Even lovely Tom Broom, the man who delivers Lou's skips, starts to grow concerned about his sweetest customer. But Lou is a woman on a mission, and not even she knows where it will end ...

Review
'I have had a fabulous time reading A Spring Affair. I loved it. Milly Johnson does horrible husbands better than anyone I know and this time she has surpassed herself. There should be a public health warning with this book: only read if you can afford to lose a day. She has created a lovable heroine with a deliciously vile husband whose eventual come-uppance is a total delight. I emerged from its pages in a mood of sublime contentment' Debby Holt 'An irresistibly feel-good read' Jane Costello 'A warm, funny, and touching tale about friendship, relationships, and everyday lives. I loved it' Matt Dunn 'I love this author's easy, addictive style, which has you warmly racing through the pages here as a delightful heroine finds what she has been looking for. Lovely stuff' Sarah Broadhurst, The Bookseller 19/12/08
About the Author
Five-foot-tall Milly Johnson is a half Barnsley, half Glaswegian writer of greetings cards, novels and shopping lists featuring gin and buns. When not writing she is either reading, learning Italian, mixing with the Yorkshire glitterati, getting up the council's nose about a Dodworth Road Pedestrian Crossing or ironing school clothes. She lives with her two boys and a quartet of mad animals near her Mam and Dad in the middle of Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
