One Day I Shall Astonish The World

Beskrivelse

A heartfelt tale tracing the ups and downs of female friendship across three decades. Susan and Norma’s bond starts unexpectedly in a 1990s haberdashery and evolves through life’s twists and turns.

A moving exploration of friendship, life choices, and the complexities that shape relationships over time.

From the acclaimed author of Reasons to be Cheerful comes a novel that delves into the enduring connection between two women. Susan and Norma first meet by chance while working at The Pin Cushion, a haberdashery in Leicestershire during the 1990s. Neither is particularly eager to make new friends, but their shared circumstances and strong personalities forge a lasting friendship.

Now, thirty years on, Susan finds herself reflecting on the decisions she’s made about love, career, and most importantly, friendship. With Norma riding high on a wave of professional success and Susan’s husband chasing his own dreams of immortality, she begins to question the paths they've all taken.

Nina Stibbe’s latest novel beautifully captures the journey of friendship-from its secretive and exciting beginnings, through its frustrating detours, to the deeply satisfying place it ultimately reaches.
