Sarah Edghill

Hello and thank you for visiting my author page! I am the author of 10 novels, the most recent of which is LAST ORDERS AT THE OLD RED LION, which tells the story of a group of Cotswold villagers determined to save their local pub from closure. It's a warm, uplifting story about community, friendship and finding love when you least expect it.

Before turning to fiction, I worked as a journalist for many years, and during my career I interviewed hundreds of people with stories to tell. Listening to their experiences gave me a fascinating insight into humanity in all its guises: what makes people tick and how they react to whatever life throws at them. I aim to write books that suck the reader in: plots that keep you turning the pages and characters who work their way inside your head. The sort of books where you have to read just one more chapter before you turn off the bedside light at night.

I live in Gloucestershire with my husband and far too many animals and we have three grown up children. If you'd like to find out more about me and my writing, please visit my website - www. sarahedghillauthor. com.

In THE GOOD DAUGHTER (Oct 24) Eve is struggling to hold things together: her elderly mother has gone into a nursing home, her son is playing up at school and her ex is enjoying a perfect life with his new wife and their daughter. Then Eve discovers a family secret that threatens to undermine everything she thought she knew about her own past.

In THE POOL (June 24) two sisters and their families arrive for a holiday at a French villa, to find a dead body floating in the swimming pool.

In MEMORY ROAD (March 24) Lily takes her elderly mother, Moira, on one last roadtrip around the UK.

In A THOUSAND TINY DISAPPOINTMENTS (Sept 21) Martha's mother dies unexpectedly and leaves everything a stranger. Struggling with grief and unsupported by her uninterested husband and bullying brother, Martha is left facing the ultimate moral dilemma: should she carry out her mother’s last wishes, or destroy the evidence so no one will ever know?
