She wants it all. But life has other plans. After years of hard work, Madeleine’s life is very nearly perfect. She’s about to move to LA to pursue her dream job and there’s a new man on the scene too. But when her mother falls ill, pulling her back to the world she tried so hard to leave behind, the repercussions of a life-changing decision Madeleine made seven years ago resurface, threatening to jeopardise everything she’s worked for. Faced with the promise of her new life, and the pull of her old, she has to ask herself some tough questions: was what she did then right for her family? How do you know when it’s okay to put yourself first? And what’s the cost of happiness? Heartfelt, provocative and emotional, this is a gripping look at the choices women have to make, and whether we really have it all.
MY REVIEW
Can I really choose my favourite contemporary fiction novel by Amanda Prowse? The answer is simple No! I have loved every single novel, by Amanda Prowse I have read. The novel, This One Life, is about Madeleine who once live in an accommodation, she shared in a grotty flat. With sheer determination she was adamant that this wouldn’t be her life forever. She did date some men, but it didn’t turn out as well as she thought it might. At the age of twenty nine Madeleine Woods looks the bees knees dressed up, from head to toe, with a goal in life to move to LA, for her dream job. Can everything now go smoothly for Madeleine? I highly recommend This One Life by the Queen of contemporary fiction, who has an achievement of her own, she is the multimillion copy bestselling author. I do recommend buying any book by Amanda Prowse, because I know you will love it!
