\"\"<\/a>CELLS \u2013 One woman, two men, a last chance for happiness<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The biological clock is ticking for Martha, an archetypal forty-something career woman. She longs to have a baby, but can\u2019t get pregnant. With several failed courses of IVF behind her, she and her husband, Grant, have decided to stop trying to have a child and are attempting to put parenthood out of their minds. This very topical dilemma explored by Harriet Grace in her first novel \u2018Cells\u2019 is one faced by thousands of couples who can\u2019t conceive naturally. When these couples have been given the extra hope of IVF and that fails how do they cope? Martha isn\u2019t completely sure she wants a baby, but can\u2019t bear the failure. Grant is haunted by memories which make him long for a baby one moment, and want to walk away from his marriage the next. When the computers crash on the Features Floor of a national newspaper, Martha has a migraine and is losing control of her job. She looks up and sees Jon, one of the messengers, and for a few seconds he seems like a saviour. Relationships collide in this tale of love, sex and betrayal, causing all three to question their consciences.<\/em><\/p>\n

I started Cells late yesterday afternoon and finished it today. It’s one of those books you hate to put down. Harriet’s writing drew me in and kept me hooked. Her characters are true to life – all have their strengths, weaknesses and inner demons to deal with. Some are able to that more successfully than others.<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to more from this author.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
