About this episode

Daisy Buchanan reads an exclusive extract from her new novel, All Grown Up, a modern retelling of Little Women.

To celebrate the release of Daisy's new novel, a modern retelling of the classic Little Women entitled All Grown Up , here's an exclusive reading from the first chapter from the author herself! After thirty long years, Louisa’s daughters can finally look after themselves… or so she thinks. Because suddenly, they’re back – apparently for good. Meg’s second-guessing her marriage. Jo’s career hangs in the balance. Amy has inexplicably quit university. None of them empty the dishwasher. Louisa knows it’s time for some life lessons. She adores her girls, but if she’s ever going to get her (sex) life back, they’ll have to grow up – and go. But maybe they’re not the only ones with lessons to learn… And Louisa might just discover that her daughters have something to teach her about being an adult too. All Grown Up is out on June 4th and available from Bookshop.org , Waterstones , and wherever great books are sold. The audio version of the books features Harriet Kemsley, Isy Suttie, Stevie Martin and Helen Bauer is available from Audible. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
