    When does time out become the time of your life?

    Jodie Jackson is all at sea, in every sense. On a ferry bound for the Isle of Wight, she’s leaving her London life, her career, and her husband behind. She’d like a chance to turn back the clocks, but she’ll settle for some peace and quiet on her brother Bill’s beautifully renovated houseboat, Sunny Days.

    But from the moment Jodie steps aboard her new home, it’s clear she’ll struggle to keep herself to herself. If it isn’t Marilyn, who cleans for Bill and is under strict instructions to look after Jodie, then it’s Ned, the noisy sculptor on the next-door houseboat. Ned’s wood carving is hard on the ears, but it’s made up for by the fact that he’s rather easy on the eyes.

    Bustled out of the boat by Marilyn and encouraged to explore with Ned, Jodie soon delights in her newfound freedom. But out of mind isn’t out of sight, and when her old life comes knocking Jodie is forced to face reality. Will she answer the call or choose a life filled with Sunny Days and Sea Breezes?

    An absolute must-read from the queen of fun-filled and life-affirming fiction, Sunny Days and Sea Breezes will make your heart sing!

    Then the arrival of a large orange skip on her mother’s estate sets in motion a cataclysmic series of events which leads to the collapse of Shay’s world. She is forced to put herself first for a change.
     
    But in order to move forward with her present, Shay needs to make sense of her past. And so she returns to the little village she grew up in, to uncover the truth about what happened to her when she was younger. And in doing so, she discovers that sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to find the only way is up.

    Price:£9.99 - £4.99
    (as of May 17, 2025 22:09:08 UTC – Details)


    An instant Number One Sunday Times bestseller and soon to be a major motion picture

    ‘Utterly absorbing . . . A triumph’ – Taylor Jenkins Reid, bestselling author of Daisy Jones & The Six

    ‘Stuns with sacrifice. Uplifts with heroism’ – Bonnie Garmus, bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry

    ‘Powerful and compelling. Never has a novel of war metamorphosed so profoundly into a story of the human heart. The female heart’ – Delia Owens, bestselling author of Where the Crawdads Sing

    The Number One bestselling novel which has captured the hearts of readers across the world. The Women is a novel of epic love and devastating loss. And it is a story of a memorable heroine, and her deep friendships, whose idealism and courage under fire will define an era.

    Their friendship changed lives. Their bravery changed history.

    ‘Women can be heroes, too’. When twenty-year-old nursing student, Frances “Frankie” McGrath, hears these unexpected words, it is a revelation. Raised on California’s idyllic Coronado Island and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing, being a good girl. But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a different path for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurses Corps and follows his path.

    As green and inexperienced as the young men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed America. Frankie will also discover the true value of female friendship and the heartbreak that love can cause.

    ‘Thank God for girlfriends. In this crazy, chaotic, divided world that was run by men, you could count on the women’

    THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
    ‘Gripping and incredibly comforting’ Marian Keyes
    ‘Like a little blast of sunshine – uplifting, heartwarming and supremely feelgood’ Sophie Kinsella

    Jill’s Mansell’s irresistible new book is the perfect escape. A beautiful Cornish setting, a chaotic family, a woman who’s had enough of romance – or has she?

    The trouble with secrets is that you can’t guess what the consequences will be . . .

    Lainey has lost everything. Luckily one little fib (OK, quite a big fib) helps nail her dream job. Soon she’s living in a stunning house by the sea, fending off obsessed fans for a retired – if far-from-retiring – actor and organising his charming but chaotic family. It’s definitely worth the challenge of keeping her secret.

    At least Lainey isn’t looking for love. It’s time for a break from all that. And yet . . . Seth, the actor’s grandson, really is rather attractive. There’s growing chemistry and a definite connection between them. But how would he react if he knew she hadn’t been honest with him?

    Lainey’s not the only one with a secret, though. Seth has one of his own. And everything’s about to start unravelling . . .

    What readers are saying about Jill Mansell:

    ‘A fantastic read yet again, great characters, great story and as always a few happy tears’
    ‘Completely absorbing and so addictive’
    ‘Entertains from start to finish, and it fully deserves a 5-star rating’
    ‘Great characters and I can’t get enough of the “will they, won’t they” – “should they, could they”obstacles and setbacks’
