American Saturdays Book News: Sleeping Arrangements by Madeleine Wickham
Another of Madeleine Wickham’s (aka Sophie Kinsella) fun and brilliant novels is out in paperback here in the the US on November 30 and I can’t wait to read it! Sleeping Arrangements sounds like the perfect read for the holidays with a bit of a mix up of the character’s rooms on their own holiday. I’m a huge fan of Kinsella’s writing as Wickham so this is a definite for me. What about you?
Chloe needs a holiday. Her partner, Philip, has troubles at work, and the whole family wants a break. Hugh is not a happy man. His immaculate wife, Amanda, seems more interested in her new kitchen than in him—and he works so hard to pay for it, he barely has time for his children. Maybe he’ll have a chance to bond with them on holiday…
When the two families arrive at a villa in Spain for their respective vacations, they all get a shock—it has been double-booked. An uneasy week of sharing begins, and tensions mount in the soaring heat. But the temperature isn’t solely to blame: What no one else realizes is that Chloe and Hugh have a history—and that the “accidental” overlap might not have been so accidental after all…
