The Fiction Class

This title is for everyone who's ever thought of writing a novel and everyone with a difficult mother - which covers practically everybody. Despite being named after a Georgette Heyer heroine, would-be novelist Arabella's life is not what it might be. Thirty-six, twice engaged but still single, none of the New Yorkers on her Creative Writing course show any signs of novel-writing promise - but then, to be frank, neither does she. However, hope, and love, may be closer than she had realised - and, who knows, maybe even inspiration.
