Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Christmas with the family. Cosy, relaxing…and a total nightmare?
A Wonderful Life
What you need to know before your trail
Driving home for Christmas, Beth has everything she wants. The kids and the house, the career and the husband. So why is it that when the New Year comes, she can’t stop thinking about her old college boyfriend?
Her husband Daniel is tasked with bringing a struggling school up to scratch, but when family life catches up to him, can he be a good father and a good teacher at the same time?
Beth’s sister Lou has just been dumped…again. Single and childless, she can’t help but be jealous of her sibling’s success. But is the grass really always greener?
Travel Guide
Abinger Lea
Abinger where Beth and Daniel live about a mile from her parents. She likes living next to them but not sometimes not so much as she is the good sibling and feels the obligation of staying that way. However the parents still live in their cosy cottage and she has fond and happy memories of growing up in this lovely Surrey village. There is an Abinger Hammer which features on the booktrail since that is similar in name. Plus it gives you the chance to visit it and see if you can recreate the story for yourself or even just read this book whilst sitting in the local cafe.
The lovely Abinger Roughs and Netley Park is nearby and worth a visit!
