Forever Lucky - Gill Buchanan

From the author of Unlikely Neighbours, this novel explores the consequences for a middle class family when the husband and father dies suddenly. Not only does Katie, a devoted wife of more than twenty years, have to cope with her grief and that of her teenage daughters, Alice and Bethan, she also has to come to terms with the added shock of discovering that David has mysteriously left them destitute.
With a mortgage still to pay for their home in London's affluent Highgate village, and having devoted herself to bringing up her daughters and volunteering for charities, Katie is left with some arduous choices.
The story of the ups and downs of this widow and her two daughters' as they struggle over the months that follow is told with poignancy and at times a gentle humour.
