The Yorkshire Pudding Club by Milly Johnson

"The Yorkshire Pudding Club is a fabulous debut novel written by a sparkling new voice in women’s fiction – Milly Johnson!"

Elizabeth, Janey and Helen may all be as different as chalk and cheese, but they’ve been the best of friends since secondary school and there is absolutely nothing they wouldn’t do for one another – even if it means visiting an ancient fertility symbol a million miles away! Getting pregnant may be Helen’s dream, but for Janey and Elizabeth it is the stuff of nightmares! Yet, when the fertility symbol works its magic, the three friends realize that their lives are never going to be the same ever again!

For Helen getting pregnant is a dream come true but she does wish that her husband could show a little bit of enthusiasm. Simon, is more concerned with keeping up appearances and impressing his colleagues than he is with the well-being of his wife and child. But she is positive that the baby will solve all their problems and be the answer to all their prayers…

For Janey, pregnancy is definitely not on the agenda! She’s up for a promotion at work and does not want her figure to be spoiled by a baby after she’s worked so hard to be able to squeeze into a size 8! Her husband, George, is absolutely over the moon that he’s soon going to be a father, but will Janey have to make a choice between her much desired career break and her unborn child?

Finally, Elizabeth is the single girl of the group who has sworn never to let a man get close to her again. But when she finds herself pregnant and alone, Elizabeth realizes that for the first time in ages, she may have to start letting people in again even if it means setting herself up for heartbreaks thanks to a former flame who has reappeared on the scene and who refuses to take no for an answer!

Milly Johnson combines laughter, tears and pathos in this hugely enjoyable tale of friendship, romance and motherhood that will delight fans of Jill Mansell and Carole Matthews.
