A sharp, amusing and brilliantly observed novel about women’s lives and friendships, this is a fantastic debut from a talent who’s one to watch.

Meet Lucy, Tina and Natalie, twenty-something friends who are all negotiating the risky business of being grown-up.

Lucy knows exactly what she wants: her marriage to be a success, her children to be perfect, and to be the ultimate home-maker.

Tina knows what she wants too: her journalism career to take off and to see her name as a byline in a national newspaper... and the illicit affair she's started leaves her free enough to follow her dreams.

Natalie just wants to be happy - happy with the boyfriend she's dated since college, happy with the job she's drifted into, happy with a life she thinks is enough – but is it really?

Ten years later, all three women have the lives they thought they wanted. But somehow, reality isn't quite as neat and clean-cut as their dreams...

Praise for Stop the Clock

Effortlessly readable and sharply realistic, this is grown-up chick-lit at its very best.

Closer

A lovely absorbing read, so evocative of student life. Alison Mercer really captures the passion of falling in love for the first time.

Alice Peterson on After I Left You

Funny and moving, this is a fab debut from Alison Mercer.

new!

Alison Mercer has expertly spun an engrossing story about love, secrets and second chances.

Tamar Cohen, author of <i>The Mistress's Revenge</i>

Mercer has a satirical eye which she puts to good effect in describing such cornerstones of middle-class life as private antenatal classes and bitchy newspaper columnists. A funny, promising debut.
