Today it's my stop on the blog tour for Sara Crowe's debut novel Campari for Breakfast which is getting some amazing reviews, and thanks to the generosity of Sara's publishers Transworld I have a fab giveaway for followers of the blog.
Life is full of terrible things. Ghosts of dead relatives, heartbreak... burnt toast.
In 1987, Sue Bowl's world changes for ever. Her mother dies, leaving her feeling like she’s lost a vital part of herself. And then her father shacks up with an awful man-eater called Ivana.
But Sue’s mother always told her to make the most of what she’s got – and what she’s got is a love of writing and some eccentric relatives. So Sue moves to her Aunt Coral’s crumbling ancestral home, where she fully intends to write a book and fall in love . . . and perhaps drink Campari for breakfast.
Sara Crowe is best known as an actress. She has appeared on television, stage and film, including the iconic Four Weddings and a Funeral. She has won the Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actress, the Variety Club Best Actress Award and the London Critics Circle Theatre Award for Most Promising Newcomer. Sara’s West End appearances include Private Lives,Calendar Girls and Hay Fever. She has also toured with Acorn Antiques: the Musical, and appeared in The City Madam for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Campari for Breakfast is Sara’s first novel, inspired by a crumbling old house and a love of English eccentricity. She began writing as a child and has also written comedy sketches for television and stand-up. But in the tradition of late developers‚ she recently re-opened the notebooks of yesteryear and some of the characters climbed out.
To win a copy of Campari for Breakfast, enter via the Rafflecopter form below. I'm afraid the giveaway is open to UK residents only but don't worry I will be having new worldwide giveaways shortly. Entries close at midnight on 21st February when the winners will be selected at random and contacted for their postal address to pass onto Sara's publicist to post your prize to you.
