***

Willow has everything worked out.

*The steady partner

*The successful career

*The grown-up house

Until she doesn’t – and she’s cast adrift on the sea of heartbreak, grieving a future with no clear path.

With her life transformed beyond recognition, and her friends busy ‘moving forwards’, Willow has never felt more alone.

But she’s in good company.

And when inspiration arrives from an unlikely source, she rekindles the relationship she longs for – but has long neglected… The one with herself…

***

‘Warm, charming and keenly observed, Table for One is a delicious read. Emma Gannon artfully captures the complexities that we face across our lives, all the while demonstrating the power of unlikely friendships to make them easier. I devoured it’ ALICE VINCENT

‘Gannon is good on the confusing messiness of modern life – and the way women are bombarded with conflicting messages. But my favourite part is Willow's relationship with her Aunt Carla – deeply poignant and touching’ NATASHA POLISZCZUK
