Publisher Description
The first rule of Sunday Lunch Club is … don't make any afternoon plans.
Every few Sundays, Anna and her extended family and friends get together for lunch. They talk, they laugh, they bicker, they eat too much. Sometimes the important stuff is left unsaid, other times it's said in the wrong way.
Sitting between her ex-husband and her new lover, Anna is coming to terms with an unexpected pregnancy at the age of forty. Also at the table are her ageing grandmother, her promiscuous sister, her flamboyantly gay brother and a memory too terrible to contemplate.
Until, that is, a letter arrives from the person Anna scarred all those years ago. Can Anna reconcile her painful past with her uncertain future?
Juliet Ashton weaves a story of love, friendship and community that will move you to laughter and to tears. Think Cold Feet meets David Nicholls, with a dash of the joy of Jill Mansell added for good measure.

Mixed Bag
The best part of this book is the fun characters that you become invested in. I loved the narrator and the prose was excellent. What bothered me was the plot. I did not like at all the protagonist, Anna. She was annoying. I felt like there was too many secrets revealed, going for the sensational, and yet they were predictable. I really did not like that Anna’s family did not step in to offer one iota if help to a single mother to be. It was beyond annoying and unrealistic. She hosted dinner on her due date- no way. She wouldn’t let anyone help that day ridiculous. The birth was weird and not portrayed well. I did like the Carly storyline, that was the best part, oh and Dinky loved her character.
