An irresistible hug in book form - the brilliant, escapist and completely relatable new novel from Sunday Times bestseller Milly Johnson'Warm, funny and moving. One to curl up with and devour' Ruth JonesSandwich generation[noun]A generation of people, typically in their thirties or forties, responsible both for bringing up their own children and for the care of their ageing parents. Shay Bastable is the woman in the middle. She is part of the sandwich generation - caring for her parents and her children, supporting her husband Bruce, holding them all together and caring for them as best she can. Then the arrival of a large orange skip on her mother's estate sets in motion a cataclysmic series of events which leads to the collapse of Shay's world. She is forced to put herself first for a change. But in order to move forward with her present, Shay needs to make sense of her past. And so she returns to the little village she grew up in, to uncover the truth about what happened to her when she was younger. And in doing so, she discovers that sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to find the only way is up. The perfect novel to curl up with, or to buy for the woman in the middle in your life. Praise for The Woman in the Middle: 'One of those novels that draws you in to its world and makes you wish you could be friends with Shay.
