IVF and Nepal don’t immediately spring to mind as the perfect concoction for a Carole Matthews novel, but rest-assured the recipe works really, really well.  Descriptions of Nepal are great – you feel you could even be there – and they’re accurate too and the storyline is cleverly told with large dose of wit thrown in and so absorbing that you’ll forget about your own world until well after you’ve finished it.

About the Author

Carole Matthews is the Sunday Times bestselling author of 18 novels. Her unique sense of humour has won her legions of fans and critical acclaim all over the world. Her books have been translated into twenty languages and sold to Hollywood. Born in St Helens, Merseyside, Carole began writing after she entered a short story competition in Writing Magazine and won a thousand pounds.  Then – to her and everyone else’s amazement – she spent the money, not on shoes and handbags, but on a writing course.  The tutor on the course liked what she was writing and recommended an agent who took her on straight away.  She got her first book deal, for Let’s Meet on Platform 8, a week later. Carole lives with her partner, Kevin, near in Milton Keynes.   Photograph © Charlie Hopkinson More books by this author Author 'Like for Like' recommendation
