Ever After by Amanda Prowse

 Amanda Prowse has long held a spot on my favourites list — and with good reason. Often hailed as the Queen of Family Drama, she has a knack for turning everyday domestic life into gripping, emotionally charged narratives. Just when you think you know where the story’s headed, she lobs in a perfectly plausible twist that upends everything, keeping you hooked until the final page.

Enya’s world has shrunk in the wake of her husband’s death. Now in her early fifties, she finds comfort in the familiar: caring for her son Aiden, his childhood sweetheart Holly, her lifelong friend Jenny — Holly’s mother — and her loyal cat, Pickle. But when a chance encounter in an airport car park sparks an unexpected connection with a stranger, Enya is caught off guard. The moment lingers, and she finds herself unable to shake the feeling that something is shifting.

What do you do when the life you built crumbles overnight — and the one person you’d usually lean on turns away? Amanda Prowse explores this heart-wrenching question with raw honesty and emotional depth. This is a story of rediscovery, resilience, and the unexpected paths that lead us home. This beautifully told, emotionally rich novel will stay with you long after the final page.
