on to a charity mailing list and the number of requests she receives has gradually increased. Currently, letters appealing for


financial help are pushed through the letterbox almost daily. For older people, living alone,

Recommendation


always good to get a balanced view. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and found it to be a jolly good read. As a young(ish) mum with three chil­ dren, there is nothing nicer than to curl up with a good book for a- bit of escapism. I found "Hard Copy" to have an engaging storyline with a lively and entertaining narrative. If any of your readers have read


and enjoyed a Jackie Collins'-style book, then I can thoroughly recom­ mend "Hard Copy". They won't be disappointed.
