Summary
Sarah Stovell’s gripping new novel, Every Happy Family is available now!
Hilarious, unputdownable, suspenseful fiction, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Motherland
They all have opinions.
They all have secrets.
‘Both funny and engaging while tackling some serious stuff’ Jane Fallon
‘Deft, wry and perceptive, this drama targets class and modern parenting’ Daily Mail
‘Set to be one of the most talked-about books of 2022’ HELLO!
‘Sensitive, sharply observed and often funny’ Adele Parks, Platinum
‘Touted as the new Liane Moriarty, Stovell is one to watch’ Woman & Home
‘Cringe-inducing, agonising, truthful, heartbreaking and hilarious’ Janice Hallett
In a small town like West Burntridge, it should be impossible to keep a secret.
Rachel Saunders knows gossip is the price you pay for a rural lifestyle and outstanding schools. The latest town scandal is her divorce – and the fact that her new girlfriend has moved into the family home.
Laura Spence lives in a poky bedsit on the wrong side of town. She and her son Max don’t really belong, and his violent tantrums are threatening to expose the very thing she’s trying to hide.
When the local school introduces a new inclusive curriculum, Rachel and Laura find themselves on opposite sides of a fearsome debate.
But the problem with having your nose in everyone else’s business is that you often miss what is happening in your own home.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

GOOD STORY
This is a great story but spoilt by the narrator speaking the northumberland accent as if its out of a Catherine Cookson film

A very different story
I liked this one and laughed out loud on more than one occasion. Rachel was wonderful and I wish I had a Rachel in my life.

Thought provoking.
So many different characters, different personalities and different problems and pressures. Entertaining as well as thought provoking.

Excellent characters and home truths
Excellent characters and home truths. Excellent narrative of Rachel’s use of language. Bitter dark side of life with comedy moment of the ‘cake stall’. Loved it

Just a bit meh
I didn’t hate this book, I just found it a bit “meh”. I kept waiting for the story to really grip me but it didn’t. I guess that makes it more true to life than some of the really far fetched novels out there. Good narration.

Easy listen but boring and predictable
Nothing really happens other than what you hear as you go along. No plot twists, the characters were all fairly boring and predictable. Easy to listen to and pass the time but definitely not a book I will remember!
