How Flora Finds Her Fabulous takes you on a global adventure of lottery-winning proportions, from the kitchen sink to self-discovery. Poignant and heartwarming – Flora's journey will make you laugh and cry. The perfect summer read. Elizabeth Price An uplifting journey of self-discovery, skilfully interwoven with touches of innocence, regret and romance... there's a little bit of Flora in all of us. Chandra Rodgers Great fun. A roller-coaster ride that will have you laughing out loud. Julia Stone 1970, Coventry. Flora's never felt popular, pretty or clever. Even with the age gap and his unfortunate limp, Jonny M with his semi in the suburbs is the best offer she's ever had. No. The only offer. A few outings and a knickerbocker glory were about all it took for her to say, 'Yes'. The reality of John settles like a coat of dust on the mismatched furniture. She must stick to his housework rota, his meal plan and only spend the housekeeping allowance. There's no room for 'chitter-chatter' or 'women's nonsense'. 2005, still in Coventry, same house, same wallpaper. Flora has few life skills, no friends and a serious Jelly Babies habit when her miserable marriage comes to a shocking end. With no other plans for the future, she decides to complete the 'to-do' list her controlling husband had only ever dreamed of – a global adventure of lottery-winning proportions. Accompanied by her new friend Marty, she's soon hurtling through a snow-sculpted wonderland towards the Kulusuk mountains, scuba diving in Belize and dancing the Wiffle Tree Reel with Smokey Brooks. With Marty giving her a makeover and a few hunter-flirting tips, she feels ready to begin dating. It's a bumpy road, littered with tears and a trampled heart, but finally, she meets her prince. Or so she thinks. When everything goes wrong, it goes catastrophically wrong. And where's Marty and his new boyfriend? Stranded and alone in South America, she must dig deep and be brave while the dream of happily ever after fades around her. With no passport or money, how will she find her way home, let alone find her fabulous and finally become the person she was always meant to be?
