Book News: How to Break Your Own Heart by Maggie Alderson

Posted By Chloe on May 26th, 2009

With another excellent Summer Read choice, British author Maggie Alderson is back with her 5th novel called How To Break Your Own Heart. It’s set for release through Penguin on 2nd July and looks like a great read. Here’s the synopsis:

“‘Do you always sleep in separate beds?’

A question from her outspoken friend Kiki shocks Amelia Bradlow into taking stock of her ‘perfect’ life. She might have the adoring husband, the flat in Mayfair and the weekend cottage, but what about the things that really matter? Like the unmentionable matter of the baby they haven’t had . . .

Just when she is most confused, up pops gorgeous Joseph Renwick - the first boy she ever kissed - back in town and dangerously single.

Struggling to put thoughts of him aside, Amelia makes some big changes. A reinvigorated career and a style makeover turn her into a new woman - but husband Ed preferred the old one.

So with her internal clock ticking ever louder, Amelia has to decide whether to stay in her nearly happy marriage, or take a gamble on going solo. Is it better to break your own heart than to settle for second best?”

If you like the sound of it, look out for in the shops from July 2009, and you can find out more about Maggie at her website: http://maggiealderson.com/
