A vibrant, compulsively readable novel about two married couples who pursue a dream to open a bed-and-breakfast in small-town Vermont, from the internationally bestselling author of Perfect Neighbors and The Wife Between Us. In her previous works including The Best of Us, “rising star” (Library Journal) Sarah Pekkanen captivated readers by penning “refreshingly introspective, sharply realistic, and tenderly humorous” novels (Booklist) that had readers “flying through the pages” (Hoda Kotb, Today show). Now, in Catching Air, Pekkanen turns an unflinching eye on the tangled relationships of two pairs of thirty-somethings. A chance to run a B&B in snowy, remote Vermont—it’s an offer Kira Danner can’t resist after six soul-crushing years of working as a lawyer in Florida. As Kira and her husband, Peter, step into a brand new life, she quells her fears about living with the B&B’s co-owners: Peter’s sexy, irresponsible brother Rand, and Rand’s wife, Alyssa…who is essentially a stranger. For her part, Alyssa sees taking over the B&B as the latest in a string of adventures. Plus, a quiet place might help her recover from the news that she can’t bear children. But the idyllic town proves to be anything but serene: Within weeks, the sisters-in-law are scrambling to prepare for their first big booking—a winter wedding—and soon a shy, mysterious woman comes to work for them. Dawn Zukoski is hiding something; that much is clear. But what the sisters-in-law don't realize is that Dawn is also hiding from someone… Relatable and dynamic, Catching Air delves deeply into the vital relationships that give shape to women’s lives.

70 DELICIOUS RECIPES TO SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE. 'One easy shop and a week of speedy suppers.' The Times 'The idea is simple: present a shopping list of goods and you then rustle up meals for the next seven days, saving time, food and money.' Balance Magazine 'The food Ian cooks is always so simple, healthy and tasty.' Joe Wicks 'Realistically achievable, not requiring unfeasible amounts of ingredients, skill or time,' Men's Health Say goodbye to multiple trips to the supermarket and to wasted food at the end of the week. The 7-Day Basket is the cookbook you have always wanted. Each chapter starts with a shopping list for the week ahead, followed by seven varied dinners to see you through the week. No more wandering aimlessly round the supermarket wondering what to cook for dinner, this book plans your week ahead, and will have you doing your food shopping in no time. With 10 chapters in the book, Ian does the hard work for you, so all you need to do is shop, cook and enjoy. The secret is all in the planning and Ian's concept means you end up with very little waste as many of the ingredients in the recipes overlap. 1 shopping basket + 1 week = 7 dinners. Each recipe serves two people but simply halve the ingredients if you're eating on your own, or double them if you are a family of four. This will quickly become your go-to recipe book and with your weekly meal-planning sorted you'll no longer be faced with the dilemma of 'what shall we have for dinner tonight?' Example basket: Monday: Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Popped Tomatoes Tuesday: Middle Eastern Lamb with Toasted Breads & Sage Parmesan Oil Wednesday: Spaghetti Alla Norma Thursday: Tomato Feta Salad with Toasted Pistachio, Apple & Pomegranate Friday: Spicy Sesame Sea Bass Noodles Saturday: Mexican Smoked Chicken Burger, Avocado & Sweet Potato Crisps Sunday: Bombay Chicken & Hasselback Potato Bake
