Grace is turning ninety. She plans to treat it just like any other day. A swim in the sea, a cup of tea and the chance to spend time with her granddaughter, Elin, and great-granddaughter, Beca. After all, a special occasion can sometimes make us think of those that are missing... She hasn't seen her daughter for thirty years. But Elin has other plans. A party. Her grandmother may have said that she doesn't want a fuss but Elin knows better (she often does, she finds). As the special day approaches, Grace, Elin and Beca navigate the drama, quiet sorrow and noisy joy of life, love and a big birthday. What could possibly go wrong?

The past has a habit of tracking us down. And tripping us up. When Kate was twenty-two, she had an intense and passionate affair with a married man, Callum, which ended in heartbreak. Kate thought she'd never get over it. Seventeen years later, life has moved on - Kate, now a successful actress, is living in London, married to Matt and mother to little Tallulah. Meanwhile Callum and his wife Belinda are happy together, living in Edinburgh and watching their kids grow up. The past, it would seem, is well and truly behind them all. But then Kate meets Callum again. And they are faced with a choice- to walk away from each other . . . or to risk finding out what might have been. Second chances are a rare gift in life. But that doesn't mean they should always be taken . . . ***** In her unmissable debut, actress and screenwriter Ruth Jones shows us the dangers of trying to recapture that which was once lost and failing to realise the beauty of what we already have. 'I love books about gnarly, messy relationships and this one kept me gripped from the beginning. A great read.' Jane Fallon 'Heart-rending, provocative and astutely written, Never Greener is a love story about getting what you want and losing everything you need. Ruth's characters will stay with me for a long time.' Cathy Bramley
