Sadie Drew thinks she’s the world’s worst wife. She doesn’t keep her home spotless, she’s a tad unorganised when it comes to paperwork and bills, and she’s not exactly fond of her mother-in-law either. However, she loves being a mum and wife to her husband Tom, and everything seems just okay as it is.

That is until Tom gets a promotion at works and starts to change towards Sadie. Suddenly, he’s not happy with the Sadie of old and wants his wife to change so she mixes in better with the other high-flying wives and makes him look good. Sadie’s devastated, and desperately wants to make Tom fall in love with her all over again. A chance meeting with Enid at the park might just be the answer to all of Sadie’s problems...

I’ve read and enjoyed two of Sinead Moriarty’s novels so I was thrilled when I saw that her new book Pieces of my Heart is due for release on 5th August 2010. I couldn’t wait to see the book cover and boy, is it gorgeous. It’s definitely one of the nicest covers I’ve seen so far in 2010. Here’s the synopsis for Pieces of my Heart:

The modern woman is a Jill of all trades – wife, lover, mother, daughter, friend, fixer, boss . . . it’s never-ending. Ava is juggling a life that seems to have too many pieces. First, there are daughters Sarah and Ali, two chalk-and-cheese sisters heading into adulthood and testing every limit. Her husband Paul seems more interested in work than home – which might explain why her sex life is practically on life support. That certainly can’t be said about her Viagra-popping dad, a loveable rogue who is heading into old age and also testing every limit. She would envy her best friend Sally, sassy single woman-about-town, if she didn’t know that behind her polished exterior Sally is as vulnerable as a kitten. Somewhere in there is Ava herself, trying to do her best for all of them but lately feeling like she’s running on empty. But when a crisis threatens everything she holds dear, Ava realizes that there is no such thing as empty. She just has to dig deeper than ever before and figure out a way to hold on to the pieces of her heart . . .
