We are so excited to be publishing Such a Good Couple by the bestselling author of My Hot Friend, this August.

Such a Good Couple is a sharply funny and heartfelt novel about the complexities of sharing your life with other people - partners, friends and family - and what it is exactly that makes a ‘good couple’. To celebrate will be hosting TWO events to celebrate the launch of her new book:

The Racketspace at The Bernard Shaw on August 26th at 8pm with Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen, co-authors of the Aisling series

The Lighthouse in Dun Laoghaire on August 27th at 8pm with Jen O’Dwyer, co-host of Stop the Madness.

Tickets available now at the link in the bio. Until then, keep reading to see what you can expect from Sophie’s new book...

Superstar husband, Hollywood mansion, stylist on speed-dial - Maggie’s life has never looked better. No one, not even Fionn (who’s usually in a different time zone), can tell how much she’s struggling.

Annie is trying to have a baby. Conor is trying to talk to Annie about their crumbling relationship. But surely breaking up after two decades together would be ludicrous - and if they do, how will Annie ever become a mother?

Clara and Ollie spend most of their days shouting to each other from different rooms of their crowded home, but Clara thought they were mostly happy. Until she spots a text on Ollie’s phone that might blow their life up.

Their annual holiday brings the six friends (a tight gang for the past twenty years) together, each couple at breaking point. And as the sunny days pass in the lap of luxury on Cape Cod, with champagne, secrets and harsh truths being spilled, they find they can’t hide their issues any longer. But when the first ‘it’s over’ is uttered, can the other couples survive the fallout?

Such a Good Couple is available to pre-order now! 📚

Sheila has finally (and secretly) divorced her unreliable husband and is ready to celebrate. But as she prepares to join the annual festive get-together at the hotel her family has owned for generations, she’s not quite sure how to break the news to everyone. And she’s not the only one keeping something to herself.

Nora, Sheila’s formidable mother, is distracted by her doubts about the hotel’s new manager: her grand-daughter Máire. Can she hide her feelings though, putting family before the business for once?

It was always the plan for Máire to take over the hotel, but she never realised how much she would have to give up. Is she now facing a choice between her career and her marriage?

And Maire’s sisters Henrietta and Barbara have their own reasons for coming to the Castlehill Hotel - one needs time away to think and the other is eager to take a risk...

As the Sullivan women gather for the first time in months, at a place filled with memories, bittersweet and painful truths come to the surface. When their time together ends, will they be brought closer, or find themselves further apart than ever before?

Love in a Time of Politics is a deeply moving memoir from a reforming Irish government minister that shines a light into navigating the corridors of power during a time of personal grief.

But their greatest challenge lay before them . . .

I Loved Him from the Day He Died: My Father, Forgiveness and a Final Pilgrimage, the new memoir from Number One bestselling author Michael Harding, is officially out in bookshops now! Also available on audiobook and ebook.

To mark his 70th birthday Michael Harding travelled to Spain and walked the Camino de Santiago. Yet, as he set off on his pilgrimage, he found he wasn't alone. Accompanying him on his 126-kilometre walk in the heat of the Spanish sun was the ghost of his long-dead father, a distant and aloof figure whom he lost when he was only twenty-two years old.

Here, with searing honesty and beautifully wrought prose, Harding examines how this man, who had died
almost half a century ago, could have had such a profound effect on the writer's life.

From the Ireland of his youth, to the time of his father's death, and to the holy wells and pubs he frequented in search of a connection with a man he never really knew, I Loved Him From The Day He Died is a heartfelt examination of love, forgiveness and letting go - told with simple vulnerability and profound insight.
