Delia Franklin

Almost Perfect Delia Franklin

Holly was swept off her feet by classic-car driving, city banker Gilbert Tatton. He proposed marriage after just six months, high above his country estate in a hot-air balloon. They live at Larkspur, a glorious ten-bedroom home, with their lively daughter Lucy, dog Spock, and staff. Holly has a successful career as an artist, as well as family and friends who love and support her. Doesn't Holly's life sound perfect? But, scratch the surface and all is not as it appears. A series of unexpected events soon catapult her towards surprising new friends, dangerous questions and a tumultuous year that would forever change her outlook on life, love and loyalty. Set against the rolling downs of Surrey and the chic boroughs of central London, this is the heart-warming and at times sobering story of one woman's journey of self-discovery through life's unexpected chicanes.
