What to expect

On the surface, Ruby Gallagher has the perfect life: an adoring husband, Manny, a beautiful home and a luxury lifestyle that involves shopping, holidays and not much else. It's safe, predictable - exactly what she needs after her turbulent past.

Until one day it all collapses as Manny is arrested for fraud. And it seems it's not only his business deals that have been shady - Ruby discovers he's been hiding a mistress and son too. But as her designer lifestyle is repossessed, Ruby dusts herself down and starts again. With the help of some good friends, bad wine and a new business venture, Ruby discovers that she's a lot better off without her husband holding her back. If only he would see it that way . . .

Fabulous characters and a warm and funny story make How to Lose a Husband and Gain a Life unputdownable.

Critics Review

An absolute treat. Bernadette Strachan is such a natural, feel-good writer - it's impossible not to love her characters!
Louise Candlish
Warm, funny and witty, How To Lose a Husband and Gain a Life is everything you want from a good book - and in Ruby Gallagher presents you with the kind of lead character you'll wish you could make your new best friend!
Mike Gayle
Bernadette is so funny, upbeat and heart-warming that her books are a perfect antidote to all this current gloom. This one was a treat, with a host of glorious characters, a celebration of female friendship and love to be found in the most unexpected dusty corners of life. A plump-up cushion, curl up and cheer up book. I always love what Bernadette does. I hope HTLAHAGAL gains her many thousands of new fans and a bestseller slot
Fiona Walker
Bernadette's novel is so funny, so sharp and such a great read
