You Get That From Me

A heartwarming and hilarious novel about family, stories and second chances - perfect for fans of Debbie Johnson, Lucy Diamond and Jill Mansell

Contrary to the impression her novel might give, Charlotte Butterfield loves her life just as it is. A former magazine editor, she was born in Bristol in 1977 and studied English at Royal Holloway. She moved to Dubai by herself on a one-way ticket with one suitcase in 2005 and left twelve years later with a husband, three children and a 40ft shipping container. She now lives in the Cotswolds, where she is a freelance writer and novelist. Her first novel won a Montegrappa award at the 2016 Emirates Festival of Literature, and she went on to publish three romantic comedies with One More Chapter (previously Harper Impulse). By This Time Tomorrow is her fourth novel, and the first published by Hodder & Stoughton.

A heartwarming and hilarious novel about family, stories and second chances - perfect for fans of Debbie Johnson, Lucy Diamond and Jill Mansell You can't choose your family... Stella thought she knew how her life would turn out. A stellar career, the perfect husband (not like her own good-for-nothing dad), two gorgeous children, a dog to take on muddy countryside walks. But here she is: forty, single, living with her mum and grandmother, and trying to choose the ideal sperm donor out of a catalogue. Bonnie might be an expert in genetics, but she knows there are some things you shouldn't hand down to your children - like the secret of what really happened in her marriage forty years ago. Florence has raised two generations of wonderful women in this house - but her life, and the story of her blissful marriage, are more complicated than she's ever admitted. When all three women start writing down their stories for Stella's unborn child, the secrets and memories woven into the house begin to resurface. You can't choose your family - but maybe you can choose what you make of it...
