Rokitansky Alice Darwin

Publisher Marketing:"Both gripping - I read it in one sitting - and deeply moving, staying in your thoughts long after you've finished." EVENING STANDARD "Rokitansky is an incredibly moving and ultimately uplifting book, with a twist that will have you reaching for the tissues, and then starting from the beginning again. I challenge any woman not to relate to the emotions experienced by these sensitively drawn characters." STYLIST MAGAZINE Check out the Rokitansky book trailer, narrated by BBC Woman's Hour presenter Jane Garvey on Alice's Amazon author page. "Three women. Three stories. Three secrets." When school girl Moira Sweeney is diagnosed with a rare condition, it changes everything. She had known for as long as she could remember that something was wrong, what she didn't know was what happened next. When Tori looks in the mirror, she sees a successful travel writer, happily married to Harry. Everything is just as it should be. Almost. She is all he ever wanted and less, so much less. Mrs Brown knows she's getting too old to run Godalming Lodge. Her arthritis and her heart ache and she longs to spend more time with her husband and less time with elderly residents and her never ending pile of paperwork. Three women, with three stories of love, hope and childlessness and three secrets that connect them all.
