The first rule of Sunday Lunch Club is … don't make any afternoon plans. Every few Sundays, Anna and her extended family and friends get together for lunch. They talk, they laugh, they bicker, they eat too much. Sometimes the important stuff is left unsaid, other times it's said in the wrong way. Sitting between her ex-husband and her new lover, Anna is coming to terms with an unexpected pregnancy at the age of forty. Also at the table are her ageing grandmother, her promiscuous sister, her flamboyantly gay brother and a memory too terrible to contemplate. Until, that is, a letter arrives from the person Anna scarred all those years ago. Can Anna reconcile her painful past with her uncertain future? Juliet Ashton weaves a story of love, friendship and community that will move you to laughter and to tears. Think Cold Feet meets David Nicholls, with a dash of the joy of Jill Mansell added for good measure.

The Sunday Lunch Club

This is a novel about community, love, laughter and healing. Think Cold Feet meets David Nicholls, with a dash of the joy of Jill Mansell added for good measure. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but Cherry Blossom Mews is a miraculous place. It's somewhere that finds you, rather than the other way around. Sadie McQueen has leased a double fronted space in this small cul de sac in a culturally diverse corner of central London. The cobbles muffle the noise of double-deckers roaring past the arched gates. Turn right and you are in a futuristic maze of corporate glass monoliths. Turn left and you see a wide street with many different houses. Towering above the mews are the degenerating tower blocks of an infamous estate. The old folks home and the nearby school are both in need of TLC; the private members' club that set up shop in a listed Georgian building has been discreetly refurbished at huge expense. Into this confusion comes Sadie. She fell in love with the street the moment she first twisted her ankle on its cobbles. Her double-fronted unit is now a spa. She has sunk all her money into the lease and refurbishment. She's sunk all her hope into the carefully designed treatment rooms, the calm white reception space, the bijou flat carved out of the floor above. Sadie has a mission to connect. To heal herself from tragedy. Sadie has wrapped the mews around her like a warm blanket, after unimaginable loss and unimaginable guilt. Her hard-won peace is threatened, not only by the prospect of the mews going under but by a man aptly named Hero who wakes up her comatose heart. Sadie has a lot to give, and a lot to learn, not least that some ghosts aren't ghosts at all. Praise for Juliet Ashton's novels: ‘A warming testament to the elasticity and enduring love of true family bonds. I adored this book' Penny Parkes 'Fresh, funny and utterly fabulous’ Heat ‘A joy from start to finish. The relationships within the family ring so true. And the twists kept me guessing. A beautiful book’ Laura Kemp

Immer wieder du und ich (Autorisierte Lesefassung)

Eine Liebe zum Dessert Immer wieder sonntags trifft sich Anna mit Familie und Freunden zum Essen. Meistens sind ihre drei Geschwister dabei, die geliebte Oma und sogar ihr Ex-Mann. Es wird geredet, gelacht, gegessen. Manchmal wird Wichtiges verschwiegen, manchmal fallen die falschen Worte, aber am Ende freuen sich alle auf den Nachtisch. An einem dieser Sonntage lässt Dauersingle Anna jedoch die Bombe platzen: Sie ist schwanger. Der Vater: ein One-Night-Stand. Auch wenn die Familie hinter ihr steht - mit einem eigenen Kind hat Anna nicht mehr gerechnet. Und erst recht nicht damit, sich schon beim nächsten Sunday Lunch neu zu verlieben ... Der neue Roman von Spiegel-Bestsellerautorin Juliet Ashton - charmant, berührend, sehr unterhaltsam.

Der Sunday Lunch Club (Ungekürzte Lesung)

Sarah liebt das Leben mit ihrem Mann Leo in der Ivy Lane in Notting Hill. Die Hausgemeinschaft ist bunt und herzlich, und man hilft sich aus: Da sind die beiden alten Schwestern, die ständig zanken, die ehrgeizige Designerin Helena und das Paar mit dem süßen Mädchen. Doch seit Kurzem ist die Idylle zerbrochen, denn Leo ist ausgezogen. Er wohnt jetzt ein Stockwerk tiefer - bei Helena. Sarah ist am Boden zerstört und sucht mehr denn je die Nähe ihrer Nachbarn. Aber die hadern gerade selbst mit ihrem Schicksal. Nur eins ist klar: Wenn das Glück in die Ivy Lane zurückkehren soll, muss ein Wunder geschehen. Oder gleich mehrere ...

Immer wieder du und ich (Ungekürzte Lesung)

I ricordi si costruiscono un gusto alla volta Quasi tutte le domeniche Anna e la sua famiglia allargata si riuniscono per il brunch. Si parla, si ride e si mangia sempre troppo. Alcune volte le cose davvero importanti rimangono non dette, altre invece si pronuncia la frase sbagliata al momento sbagliato. Fa tutto parte del loro appuntamento settimanale. Seduta tra l’ex marito e il nuovo compagno, Anna sta ancora realizzando l’idea di una gravidanza inaspettata all’età di quarant’anni. Intorno al tavolo ci sono anche sua nonna, i suoi fratelli e un ricordo del passato troppo terribile da affrontare. Tutto si mescola con il tintinnio allegro delle posate, i profumini delle pietanze appena uscite dal forno e qualche immancabile macchia sulla tovaglia. Ma quando una lettera viene recapitata, costringendo Anna a fare i conti con il suo passato doloroso, persino l’atmosfera calda e accogliente della tavola domenicale potrebbe non bastare. Riuscirà a conciliare quel che è stato con il futuro? La prima regola del club è non fare programmi per il pomeriggio «Un romanzo frizzante, che ti farà venir voglia di essere invitato anche tu a quei pranzi della domenica.» «Un libro che è riuscito a ipnotizzarmi. Ti fa percepire un calore che scalda il cuore.» Kate Furnivall «Un’autrice con uno stile divertente, originale e inconfondibile.» Katie Fforde Juliet Ashton è nata e cresciuta a Londra. Pubblica libri con vari pseudonimi, incluso il suo vero nome, Bernadette Strachan. È felicemente sposata e ha una figlia.
