183 Times a Year: A Witty and Heartfelt Family Drama

“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
