Life's a Lottery

Diane Williams' early adult life has not turned out exactly as she'd planned. Like any other young woman attempting to navigate the perils of the late '80s, Diane's youth wasn't exactly dull, but it also wasn't something that could easily be made into a Hollywood movie. A romantic at heart, she was swept off her feet by the first man to show her any real affection. The trouble with love at first sight, though, is that it often fades as quickly as it appears, and shortly into her marriage she realises that, actually, she cannot bear the man she's committed the rest of her life to. Fortunately, even if that romance didn't end well - a messy divorce included - it at least gave her the children of her dreams. Chronicling the life of Diane from her initial failed marriage to her pursuit of a soul mate decades later (with plenty of love and loss in between), years of dealing with her own family and those of the people she's lucky enough to spark up a romance with are vividly brought to life in the pages of Jane Howard's stunning LIFE'S A LOTTERY.No matter what happens as the years wear on, Diane's resolve remains strong that one day, regardless of what fate has in store, she'll find the life she's always dreamed of, and even if that doesn't pan out it doesn't matter, as she'll finally be winning the lottery next week. Promise!
