Book of the Month - February 2012

My Book of the Month for February is one to lighten and brighten these cold and dreary winter days.

Janey Fraser's warm-hearted novel The Playgroup is about a group of people involved in running - you guessed it - a playgroup, and the tensions and issues which arise.

Janey told me:

"When my children were at playgroup, they over-fed the goldfish (the latter were rescued in time); cut someone's hair with play scissors; got there late (that was my fault); got picked up late (ditto). Their scrapes and mine inspired me to write The Playgroup."

She's having a launch party at the Torbay Bookshop in Paignton on 7 March at 6 o'clock, and everyone is welcome!
