Jean Collins had two daughters. But she only loved one of them.
She knew it was wrong, but she just couldn't help herself. Jess was a little sweetheart, everyone said so. Anne was awkward and serious and not much fun, to be frank.
But now the years have passed. Jess is missing - run off long ago, no one knows where or why. So when Jean is left in a coma after a road accident, it's Anne who travels back up north to sit with her mother. And she wonders - why did Jean dash out into the road without looking? What distracted her? And why was she carrying a box of vanilla slices, the cream cakes she only ever bought for extra special occasions?
Meanwhile there are secrets waiting for Anne and Jean, back at the old family home. Secrets that were buried a long time ago . . .
'Utterly compelling, brave, angry and melancholy all at once [and] beautifully observed about the subtle complexities of being a woman. Most of all, it's just a great, honest piece of writing'
Jojo Moyes
'Of course it's funny, but it's also dark, honest and totally compulsive'

Jenny Colgan
Stand-up comedian Jenny Eclair was the first woman to win the Perrier Award, the UK's top comedy award, in 1995. Since then, Jenny has taken multiple shows on tour around the country, most recently Jokes, Jokes, Jokes (the live version of her 'very funny' autobiography).
Jenny is well known for her starring role on BBC One's Grumpy Old Women which ran for three series and was then adapted into four live shows touring across the UK and Australia, all of which Jenny co-wrote (with Judith Holder) and starred in. Continuing her partnership with Judith, producer of Grumpy Old Women, Jenny co-hosts Older and Wider, the podcast for people who don't know what a podcast is - a weekly ramble about life, with additional swearing.
She is also the writer of the much-loved BBC Radio Four Little Lifetimes monologues which ran for seven series. Jenny was a contestant on series fifteen of Taskmaster (Channel 4) and currently hosts the spin-off podcast Taskmaster: The People's Podcast.
Jenny is a critically acclaimed author with seven novels, a collection of short stories and a number of non-fiction books under her belt.
