'Scandalously funny' BOBBY PALMER

"You don't want to go down in history as his mistake, darling. You want him to go down as yours."

When Lili Lowe is caught in a compromising position with her boss, married politician Teddy Landen, she suddenly finds herself thrust into the centre of a media frenzy.

She turns, as most daughters would, to her mother. Yet Lydia Lowe is a former talent agent, and it's not long before the whole world knows the name Lili Lowe.

As the spotlight brightens on Lili, and her three sisters Stevie, Iris and Katie, the women's lives are changed in ways they could never have predicted.

And it's soon clear that fame, and fortune, comes with a price...

Perfect for fans of Margo's Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe and Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors, Grace Alexander's sensational, page-turning and provocative book club debut explores the fallout of a jaw-dropping political scandal with deliciously dark humour and a lightness of touch.

About the Author

Grace Alexander is a London-based writer. She has spent the last decade working in private equity and wrote The Lowe Job whilst on maternity leave, during her daughter's short and sporadic naps.
