Hachette Book of the Week – The Astonishing Return of Norah Wells

One ordinary morning, Norah walked out of her house on Willoughby Street and never looked back.

Six years later, she returns to the home she walked away from only to find another woman in her place.

Fay held Norah’s family together after she disappeared. She shares a bed with Norah’s husband and Norah’s youngest daughter calls Fay ‘Mummy’.

Now that Norah has returned, everyone has questions. Where has she been? Why did she leave? And why is she back?

As each member of the family tries to find the answers they each need, they must also face up to the most pressing question of all.

What happens to “The Mother Who Stayed” when “The Mother Who Left” comes back?

From Virginia Macgregor, the author of What Milo Saw, comes The Astonishing Return of Norah Wells, a powerful, emotional and perceptive novel about what it takes to hold a family together and what you’re willing to sacrifice for the ones you love.

About the author

Virginia Macgregor was brought up in Germany, France and England by a mother who never stopped telling stories. From the moment she was old enough to hold a pen, Virginia set about writing her own, often late into the night. She was named after two great women, Virginia Wade and Virginia Woolf, in the hope, she would be a writer and a tennis star. She never did become a tennis player but her dream of becoming a writer has come true – What Milo Saw, her first novel, was published to rave reviews. The Astonishing Return of Norah Wells is her second novel.

The Astonishing Return of Norah Wells by Virginia Macgregor is published by Hachette Australia and available now from Dymocks.
