From the author of the internationally bestselling Sophie Kinsella novels, Madeleine Wickham’s newest novel features a house whose asking price includes a stunning renovation of dreams and hearts... 

Liz and Jonathan Chambers were stuck with two mortgages, mounting debts and a miserable adolescent daughter.  Then Marcus Witherstone came into their lives - and it seemed he would solve all their problems.  He knew the perfect tenants from London who would rent their old house: a glamorous PR girl, Ginny, and  her almost-famous husband, Piers. But soon Liz is lost in blissful dreams of Marcus, Jonathan is left to run their tutorial college, and neither of them has time to notice that their teenage daughter is developing a passion for the tenants, Piers and Ginny. Everyone is entangled with everyone else, in the most awkward possible way. And as events close in, they all begin to realize that some deceptions are just a bit too close to home.

Praise for A Desirable Residence

Praise for A Desirable Residence:

“Chick lit superstar Wickham (The Wedding Girl) is in stellar form in her latest... A wellexecuted and unexpected ending caps the dizzying action and demonstrates why Wickham is so deservedly on her genre’s A-list.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (STARRED REVIEW)

“A remarkably assured tale of adultery, avarice, and angst.” —THE DAILY MAIL

“Sharp and funny.” —FAMILY CIRCLE
