Description
Life is full of terrible things. Ghosts of dead relatives, heartbreak . . . burnt toast.
In
1987, Sue Bowl's world changes for ever. Her mother dies, leaving her
feeling like she’s lost a vital part of herself. And then her father
shacks up with an awful golddigger called Ivana.
But Sue’s mother
always told her to make the most of what she’s got – and what she’s got
is a love of writing and some interesting relatives. So Sue moves to
her Aunt Coral’s crumbling ancestral home, Green Place, along with a
growing bunch of oddballs and eccentrics. Not to mention the odd badger
or two . . .
There she fully intends to write a book, fall in love, and learn to live decadently.
Campari for Breakfast is a heart-warming, eccentric novel that joins the ranks of great British coming-of-age novels such as Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle and Nancy Mitford's The Pursuit of Love.
