Produktinformationen zu „Hello from the Gillespies “
For the past thirty years, Angela Gillespie has sent to friends and family around the world an end-of-the-year letter titled 'Hello from the Gillespies.' It's always been cheery and full of good news. This year, Angela surprises herself - she tells the truth....
The Gillespies are far from the perfect family that Angela has made them out to be. Her husband is coping badly with retirement. Her twin daughters are having career meltdowns. Her third daughter, badly in debt, can't stop crying. And her 'happy accident' ten-year-old son spends more time talking to his imaginary friend than to real ones.
Without Angela, the family would fall apart. But when an accident leaves Angela hundreds of miles away from them, the Gillespies pull together -and pull themselves together - in wonderfully surprising ways.

Klappentext zu „Hello from the Gillespies “
Get in the mood for Christmas with a hilarious and heart-warming festive novel - it's time to meet the Gillespies!'A gloriously heart-warming book you totally lose yourself in' CATHY KELLY
Angela Gillespie's annual Christmas letter has always been full of her family's triumphs.
But this year she surprises everyone, including herself - because she tells the truth . . .
Angela's husband is in the throes of a mid-life crisis. Her daughters are more out of control than ever. And her youngest child spends all of his time talking to an imaginary friend.
And as the repercussions of her ruthlessly honest letter begin to pile up, a shocking event takes Angela from her family, and she realises that perhaps she should have been more careful of what she wished for . . .
