Eva Jordan

The funny, poignant trilogy following a modern British mother as she shepherds her kids through adolescence into adulthood, in one volume.
 
 These three novels chronicle the ups and downs of Lizzie as she navigates motherhood (and stepmotherhood) and her loving, if sometimes dysfunctional, relationships with Cassie, Connor, and Maisy—along with her job at the library, the needs of her ailing mum, and the yearnings of her own heart. Includes:
 
183 Times a Year
 Teenage Cassie, Lizzie’s selfie-taking, social media-obsessed daughter, hates everything about her life and wishes her parents had never divorced. But when the discovery of a terrible betrayal and a brutal attack throws the household into disarray, both Cassie and Lizzie must reassess what’s important as they embark upon separate journeys of self-discovery.
 
All the Colours In Between
 Lizzie is pushing fifty, and her once angst-ridden teenage daughters have flown the nest—Cassie to London and Maisy to Australia—leaving only the less-troublesome Connor to take care of. The hard years, Lizzie believes, are behind her. But then a visit to her daughter in London leaves Lizzie troubled. Add an unexpected visitor, a disturbing phone call, a son acting suspiciously, a run-in with her ex-husband, and a new man, and Lizzie will soon learn life is something that happens while you’re busy making plans.
 
Time Will Tell
 Lizzie has become a writer, and in her spare time she does all she can to keep her family—still grieving a recent loss—together. But then, the suspicious death of a celebrity brings a shock to everyone. A troubling personal connection to the dead man will lead to fear, mistrust, and a mystery reaching back into the past . . .

The Tree of Family Life Trilogy

The Tree of Family Life Trilogy: 183 Times a Year, All the Colours In Between, and Time Will Tell

“A candid account of family life that we can all relate to . . . An absolutely astonishing, thought provoking, hilarious and life affirming debut novel.” —The Book Magnet

Meet Lizzie, the exasperated mother of Cassie, Connor, and stepdaughter Maisy. She gets by with good friends, cheap wine and talking to herself.

Teenager Cassie, the Facebook-tweeting, selfie-taking, music and mobile phone-obsessed daughter, hates everything about her life. She longs for a different existence and wishes her parents had never divorced.

However, the discovery of a terrible betrayal, and a brutal attack, throws the whole household into disarray. Lizzie and Cassie are forced to reassess the important things in life as they embark upon separate journeys of self-discovery . . .

Although tragic at times this is a delightfully funny exploration of domestic love, hate, strength and ultimately friendship. A poignant, heartfelt look at that complex and diverse relationship between a mother and daughter set amongst the thorny realities of today’s divided and extended families.

Mothers and daughters alike will never look at each other in quite the same way after reading this book—a brilliantly funny observation of contemporary family life.

“An emotional roller-coaster of a ride that details family life . . . [a] beautifully written debut novel from Eva Jordan that should appeal to men not just women. There are some very emotive comments contained within the story many will ring true for every reader. A highly enjoyable read.” —The Last Word Book Review

183 Times a Year: A Witty and Heartfelt Family Drama

A novel of “love, friendships and laughter, heartbreak, loss and tears, simply life in its full glory” from the author of 183 Times a Year (A Bookaholic Swede).

Life is never straightforward. Lizzie is fast approaching fifty. Her once angst-ridden teenage daughters have flown the nest: Cassie to London and Maisy to Australia. And although Connor, Lizzie’s teenage son, is now on his own tormented passage to adulthood, his quest to get there is a far quieter journey than that of his sisters. The hard years, Lizzie believes, are behind her. But things are never quite as black and white as them seem . . .

A visit to her daughter in London leaves Lizzie troubled. And that’s just to start. Add to the mix an unexpected visitor, a disturbing phone call, a son acting suspiciously, a run-in with her ex-husband, plus a new man in her life, and Lizzie will soon learn life is something that happens while you’re busy making plans. Nobody said it would be easy. Lizzie knows only too well that life is never straightforward when you see all the colours in between.

“All the Colours in Between explores the theme of families in a highly captivating read, full of laughter, tears, and bittersweet moments. A fabulous and surprising read that I would highly recommend.” —The Book Review Café

“Filled with emotion: you’ll laugh and you’ll cry but you’ll never forget All the Colours in Between. The characters are so enchanting that I think of them as my own family and I’m sure many readers feel the same.” —The Book Magnet
