A Slight Diversion by Caroline England
AVAILABLE AT LAST! One day later than planned, owing to delays with Kindle publishing.
Those who have read and enjoyed Caroline England's dark and spiky short stories in the collection Watching Horsepats Feed The Roses (currently on a 2-day free download offer) will have been keeping a keen eye out for her first novel, which ACHUKAbooks is very excited to be publishing.
Where WATCHING HORSEPATS FEED THE ROSES was a deliciously dark sequence of cameos and quirks of cruelty, related in a terse, quintessentially English sardonic voice, A SLIGHT DIVERSION is altogether warmer and (as its title implies) lighter in tone.
The book is narrated by Fiona, a humorous self-deprecating twenty-seven year old solicitor, who hasn't had much luck with love and still misses her beloved dead dad. In her own eyes she is a gaffe-prone disaster, but in fact she is an attractive, efficient young professional whom others see as being a touch icy.
A colourful cast of characters and a fast-moving, sometimes farcical, sometimes emotion-ridden plot combine to create a richly rewarding read - one that confirms Caroline England as a writer to follow.
So confident are we that once you experience this author for yourselves, you will want to spread the word, that for TWO DAYS - today Sunday 21st October and tomorrow Monday 22nd October - you can download the short story collection for free, AND acquire the novel for just 99c/77p.
A Slight Diversion will move to full price from Tuesday 23rd October, so don't miss this opportunity.
