Clifton

by Catherine E. Chapman

A novella charting two love affairs played out against a backdrop of aspiration and ambition in a salubrious suburb.

'This isn’t my life…' Michelle, involuntarily-single thirty-something, is living beyond her means but desperate to retain the flat and urbane lifestyle she enjoys in the sought-after suburb of Clifton. When she meets Lawrence, successful businessman, she thinks her prayers may have been answered.

Lowenna and Jack’s marriage is falling apart. But Adam loves Lowenna infinitely – whilst Imelda loves Jack madly.

Love is never straightforward, particularly not when it’s played out against a backdrop of aspiration, ambition and graft. Imelda learns this lesson the hard way.
