What's another branch on the family tree?


Things are finally looking up for Anna. Fourteen miserable years of marriage to man-child Connor have left her drained and ready for a new start. So when they separate, she couldn't be more thrilled to move in with James, a handsome lecturer who is everything her ex-husband is not: kind, thoughtful, and above all, reliable.

But Anna and James's kids hate living with the loved-up couple and the new set-up. Their teenage daughters - one a studious high achiever and the other a cool rich girl unbothered by grades or exams - have nothing in common. And Anna's wild football-mad eleven-year-old son declares war on bookish James.

Nobody said step-parenting was easy; Anna and James are about to find out exactly how complicated it can be. With exes, new partners-of-exes and money all in the mix, home life is fast becoming a minefield and their new-found happiness hangs in the balance. Do they have what it takes to make their blended family work?

  • I really loved Yours, Mine, Ours. Sinéad is such a brilliant writer. It’s utterly charming and life-affirming. Full of wisdom about love’s imperfections and all of the everyday obstacles that can get in the way of love . . . very grown-up love story about finding love – and ourselves – as parents. I think people will really fall in love with Anna, as I did
