A Hopeless Romantic by Harriet Evans (Harper £6.99)
From the bestselling author of Going Home comes this entertaining tale of Laura Foster, a die-hard romantic who swears off men after being left

it be before he changes her mind?

The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets by Eva Rice (Headline £6.99)

of Penelope, a young girl being raised by her mother in 1950s, after her father
was killed at war.

Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell (Pan Books, £8.99)
