Hello and thanks for visiting my website.

I’m very happy to say that my latest novel Those Faraday Girls (The Faraday Girls in the USA) is now available in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and the USA, with translations in Germany, Italy and Holland coming soon.

The paperback edition is published in the UK and Ireland in April 2008, alongside new-look editions of my previous novels, Family Baggage and The Alphabet Sisters.

The cover blurb for Those Faraday Girls reads:

As a child, Maggie Faraday grew up in a lively, unconventional household in Tasmania, with her young mother, four very different aunts and eccentric grandfather. With her mother often away, all four aunts took turns looking after her – until, just weeks before Maggie’s sixth birthday, a shocking event changed everything.

Twenty years on, Maggie is living alone in New York City when a surprise visit from her grandfather brings a revelation and a proposition to reunite the family. As the Faradays gather in Ireland, Maggie begins to realise that the women she thought she knew so intimately all have something to hide…

Those Faraday Girls is a rich and complex story full of warmth, humour and unforgettable women. Spanning several countries and thirty years, it is a deeply moving novel about family secrets and lies – and how the memories that bind us together can also keep us apart.

To coincide with the publication of Those Faraday Girls in the UK and Ireland, I’m writing a weekly on-line blog for Easy Living magazine during April. There’s also an opportunity to win a prize in an Easy Living/Those Faraday Girls competition. Visit www.easylivingmagazine.com for all the details.

My big thanks to everyone who has taken the time to write to me via this website to say they’ve enjoyed reading Those Faraday Girls and my other novels. It means a lot to hear from you.

Thanks again for visiting and warmest wishes until next time.

Monica
