Roz committed the ultimate sin of motherhood: she left her children behind when she couldn't stand another day living with her obsessive husband Matthew. Now the children are adults and while sweet-natured, easy-going Jamie holds no grudges, Zoe - wild, out-going, promiscuous Zoe - is determined never to forgive her mother. In a dazzling narrative that takes the reader from a chaotic flat in London to a beautiful wintery beach in Mull via a drive up the A1 through a blizzard in a soft-topped car containing a feuding mother and daughter, Isla Dewar explores why Roz left, how she learns to forgive herself and how she and Zoe discover that the bond between them is too strong to resist any longer. Powerful, provocative and sharply witty, TWO KINDS OF WONDERFUL is Isla Dewar's most unpredictable and enchanting novel to date.
