Somethind To Talk About
Can men and women ever be friends?
That’s the question best selling author Sarah Webb poses in her latest lively and uplifting novel, Something to Talk About. Sticking to her winning formula, Sarah has set this delightful romantic comedy in contemporary Dublin , with the joy and passion of kite flying setting the scene.
With her masterly powers of description, Webb has woven a tale that draws the reader in the lives of her cast of colourful characters. Lucy and Max have been best friends forever. Lucy, a bored beautician with a sad Jamie Oliver obsession, is determined to find kite-maker Max a girlfriend. Someone who will come up to her own high standards.
In the name of ‘True Love’, and with the help of Jamie’s The Naked Chef, Lucy decides to hold a ‘Meet Max’ dinner to find Max the right woman, in the form of her beautiful friend, Jenny. Food, wine and romance go hand in hand after all.
But soon easy-going Max is running scared of man eater Jenny. He decides he’d much prefer to be out flying his power kites than falling into the dating pit again. But fate works in mysterious ways. Sometimes even kite makers get their strings tangled – and when Max does meet someone special, he ‘forgets’ to tell Lucy, with far-reaching consequences.
Something to Talk About – it’s kite flying, it’s white sand, it’s friendship, relationships and passion. Above all else, it’s a real treat for Webb’s many fans.
