Saturdays at Noon

Description

Three lives are about to change, whether they like it or not... A smart, gloriously feel-good debut for fans of David Nicholls and Jojo Moyes.

Saturdays at Noon follows Emily, who just wants to keep the world away. After getting into trouble yet again, she's agreed to attend anger management classes. However, she refuses to share her deepest secrets with a room full of strangers.

Then there's Jake, who just wants to keep his family together. He'll do anything to save his marriage and bond with his six-year-old son, Alfie. But when he's paired with the spiky Emily, he wonders whether opening up will do more harm than good.

The two of them couldn't be more different. Yet when Alfie, who never likes strangers, meets Emily, something extraordinary happens.

Could one small boy change everything?

About the Author

Rachel Marks studied English at Exeter University before becoming a primary school teacher. Despite always loving to write, it wasn't until she gained a place on the 2016 Curtis Brown Creative online novel writing course that she started to believe it could be anything more than a much-loved hobby. Her inspiration for her first book, Saturdays at Noon, came from the challenges she faced with her eldest son, testing and fascinating in equal measure, and the research she did to try to understand him better. Until Next Weekend is her second novel.
