THE QUEEN OF FEEL-GOOD FICTION!
'Every time you discover a new Milly book, it’s like finding a pot of gold' Heat
The brand new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Perfectly Imperfect Woman - a gorgeous read full of love, life and laughter.

Sophie Mayhew looks like she has the perfect life. Wife of rising political star John F Mayhew, a man who is one step away from the top job in the government, her glamour matches his looks, power, breeding and money. But John has made some stupid mistakes along the way, some of which are threatening to emerge. Still, all this can still be swept under the carpet as long as Sophie 'the trophy' plays her part in front of the cameras.

But the words that come out of Sophie’s mouth one morning on the doorstep of their country house are not the words the spin doctors put in there. Bursting out of the restrictive mould she has been in since birth, Sophie flees to a place that was special to her as a child, a small village on the coast where she intends to be alone.

But once there, she finds she becomes part of a community that warms her soul and makes her feel as if she is breathing properly for the first time. Sophie knows she won't be left in peace for long. Now she must decide: where does her real future lie?

Beach read enjoyment

Light and bright, even the darkest moments barely rippled the upbeat mood. While I could certainly relate to many of emotional aspects of Sophie’s journey, they felt trivialized in the hands of this writer.

The Magnificent Mrs. Mayhew

The Magnificent Mrs. Mayhew is one of this authors best books. Colleen Prendergast is great. I loved this book.

A great read

This was such a fun read. Loved listening to it and could not edit to see how it all ends.

Captivating

This is the kind of book you think about when you’re not reading it. It makes me long for those lovely Yorkshire villages and people. While the story can be a bit predictable, the way it comes together is absolutely delightful. You can’t help but cheer Sophie on and hope she finds the bravery she’d almost forgotten. I wish there was more!

I enjoyed this audio book

The antagonists were a bit “one note” and a little too easy to hate, and the story was predictable, but I really did like it in spite of these shortcomings. I’m also a sucker for British narration. I was looking for something light and entertaining, and this did not disappoint.

Delightful

A light read that comes to a predictable end but is delightful to reach - a real feel good story about being brave and reaching for your dreams .

Political wife finds her true life’s work.

I love this book. I’ve listened to it many time although now I often skip the chapter’s before she literally escapes her husband’s taking her for granted and his many lies. The characters that she meets and bonds with over her 3 weeks adventure away are wonderful: the sweet little boy who reminds her of the loss of her own baby, the sister and friend she’d never had because of her genuineness, the townsfolk who are so generous, not to mention the pastor she falls in love with despite how horrible the church has treated her in the past.

An absolute truimph! Probably her best book yet.

Loved it. Narrative was fantastic. A real feel good book. Unique story line. Highly recommend.

Yea, Sophie!

Loved this easy story about Sophie figuring herself out! I was looking for something to just enjoy and not have to think too much about, and this was it…it went by quickly, reader was great, and it ended the right way. Good way to start the summer!
