Book description
With her life on the rocks, it is going to take a whale sized miracle to keep her afloat.
Event planner Fiona Reeves did not have her husband's sudden departure on her schedule. However, she’s certain that it's only a hiccup and he'll be back in no time, begging for forgiveness. Fortunately there’s a distraction of mammoth proportions swimming in the River Thames.
Absorbed by the story of Martha the sperm whale, Fiona attempts to carry on life as usual as she awaits her husband's return. However, nothing can prepare her for the dramatic turn of events that throw her life into ever greater turmoil. The road ahead has many paths and for Fiona it’s time to sink or swim.
My review -
This
is the story of a woman in denial about the fact that her husband has left her.
She’s convinced that, so long as she keeps on as normal, running her business,
he’ll return. When a whale is stranded in the Thames, her priorities change
completely. This was a book in which there was plenty of action, not all good,
but I couldn’t help turning the pages to find out what happened. The whole book
is very satisfying and I enjoyed it a great deal.

While she freely moves between genres, her novels are recognisable for their character driven stories and wonderfully vivid description.
