Anna

by Amanda Prowse

From the million-copy bestseller Amanda Prowse, the queen of heartbreak fiction.
Amanda Prowse is the author of The Coordinates Of Loss and the no.1 bestsellers Perfect Daughter, My Husband's Wife and What Have I Done?

This is an unforgettable romance about what happens when two very different people fall in love.

Anna Cole grew up poor, but her mother's love made her feel rich every day. Then her mother died, and Anna was sent to a care home. As a teenager, Anna vowed that one day, she would have children of her own, and create the happy, noisy family life she always craved.

Then, one day, Anna meets Theo Montgomery in a lift. Theo has kind eyes, but a sad past. His family were rich, but his childhood was full of neglect. Theo can't imagine bringing a child into this cruel world, but he does want a soulmate. Someone to love him unconditionally; someone with whom he can share his family's wealth.

Theo and Anna are two damaged souls, from two different worlds. Is their love for each other enough to let go of the pain of their pasts? Or will Anna and Theo break each other's hearts?

There are two sides to every love story. This is Anna's.

Initial thoughts: Oh, Anna was such a joy to read! That might sound a little odd since Anna's story is a rather sad one a lot of the time. Thing is, she's such an idealist, so her worldview is a comforting one, even if her reality doesn't match up a lot of the time. I love her voice and her enthusiasm that seeps through the pages. Prowse's writing style fits the story and the character incredibly well, so I savoured every word I read.

This might not be the most original tale because it basically is a boy-meets-girl story but the approach is a neat one — first we have her side of the story, then in the book of Theo, readers find out his. After reading her side, I can't wait to read his.
