Saoirse may just have to wing it...
When her husband David announces he's been offered a job in New York, Saoirse is thrilled. The glamour of the big city, the shopping, the culture, not to mention the free Manhattan apartment and business class air fare ' what's not to like? There's just the small matter of making it work for their daughter, five-year-old Anna, who isn't so keen to leave her friends and school behind.
The Big Apple in the middle of summer isn't quite the holiday Saoirse envisaged, and with David away with work, New York apartment sizes on the miniscule side, and the pace of life faster than the sleepy London suburbs, solo ex-pat parenting pushes Saoirse to her limits.
And as the pressure builds and 'faking it till she makes it' isn't cutting it, there's only one thing for it ' Saoirse and Anna need a new plan, and 'Winging It' might be their best option'
Emma Murray returns with this laugh-out-loud funny, compulsively page-turning adventure about parenting, travelling, and finding your tribe ' on both sides of the pond. Perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Katie Fforde, and Jill Mansell.

Compelling, Uplifting and so very relatable. The characters are superbly written, and I really hope we get to read more from Saoirse' Reader Review
I really related to Saoirse, the main character in this book. I loved her humour, her insecurities, her strengths, her flaws and of course most importantly how she formed a fantastic friendship over a morning bottle of Prosecco' Reader Review
Emma Murray has written a 5-star 'how-to' book on being part of the village ... 'it takes a village to raise a child' but it also takes that village to raise up a mom!' Reader Review
A fabulous read that had me hooked and also made me feel glad that my children were born prior to the arrival of Facebook and social media. But a refreshing read and one I would definitely recommend' Reader Review
