Did The Earth Move
- ISBN: 9780552149488
- Description:
Eve Gardiner is a rather cool urban single mum who lives in a small North London flat with her four kids, Denny (22), Tom (20), Anna (9) and Robbie (2). She gardens and does yoga every day to keep herself sane, while holding down a stressful job as a probation officer. She is pretty content and her life is filled with her children, friends, work and occasional casual sex. Then suddenly Tom announces that his 20-year-old girlfriend Deepa is pregnant and that they want to get married, (her family deeply disapprove of the match). And things start to get really complicated when Tom decides to track down his father Dennis (who walked out of their lives when his business collapsed leaving them penniless) and invite him to the wedding. And if that's not enough to put the cat among the pigeons, Eve's alarmingly attrative, much-younger ex-boyfriend Joseph (and father of Anna and Robbie) appears on the scene again and they both begin to wonder whether they did the right thing when they split up... From the Back Cover Eve is single again, but she's hoping that won't last. Meanwhile, she's pursuing her passions: squeezing into the lotus position, creating the perfect garden, and making organic feasts for her kids when she gets back from a hectic day at work. And she has a lot on her mind: can she make it through her eldest son's wedding without throttling her ex-husband? Is she too old to buy her clothes at Top Shop and dye her hair pink? Are gladioli really back in fashion? Is there anything in the fridge for supper? And most importantly, did she let the love of her life get away too easily? Did the Earth Move? is a sexy, thought-provoking and wildly entertaining novel from the best-selling author of Three in a Bed. About the Author Carmen Reid is a writer, journalist and mother. She is the author of three novels. Her latest novel is How Was It For You? and her previous books, Did The Earth Move? and Three In A Bed were both bestsellers. Carmen’s books have been translated into several languages and are due to be published in the US from 2005. She is a contributor to the Scottish Girls About Town collection of short stories and writes regularly for a range of newspapers and magazines. After more than a decade spent working in London as a news reporter, Carmen now lives in Glasgow with her husband and two young children.
