NEW RELEASE
Too Close for Comfort (2011) - Clare Dowling
Ali heads to Ireland with her three American children - leaving without telling her Texan husband Kyle - and expects to crash at her sister Emma's flat. But TV producer Emma is facing her own problems at the moment - including bickering co-hosts and struggling ratings on her new breakfast television show and a broken engagement to roving photographer Ryan. Their mam also has her hands full, looking after their father after multiple heart attacks. What caused the two women's relationships to break down and can this time together bring the sisters closer together again? This touching novel has plenty of humour amid some serious issues.
Clare Dowling's latest novel Too Close For Comfort takes a look at sibling relationships. The summary says: "There's nobody like your sister when things go wrong. At least that's what Ali hopes as she flees America and a broken marriage. Emma will surely take her and her two kids in, and it'll be just like old times, right? But the last thing Emma needs right now is her sister descending upon of her. Not when she's recovering from some earth-shattering news of her own. How can she tell Ali her secret, when she can't even get her head around it herself? Ali and Emma want to pick up where they left off - but it's not going to be easy." Too Close for Comfort is out in February.
