Angelica Stone- Susi Osbourne contemporary womens fiction
Lola (not a showgirl) is back living with her loved up parents after being dumped
by Will literally at the altar. She has taken a checkout job, despite having a degree
“until she gets herself sorted out”- the words of her mother. She lives a very
middle class, sheltered life and only realises this when she makes friends with
Angel. Angelina Stone didn’t have the best start in life and is still struggling and
Lola soon realises that she has little to grumble about and much to be thankful
for compared to Angel. However - behind closed doors maybe secrets we know
nothing about. I loved reading this and didn’t want it to end.
Be warned- it is not the read you maybe were thinking of. There are some difficult
subject matters very well handled. Lola had a trait of “helping lame ducks”
something most of us can relate to. You don’t know how fortunate/lucky/happy
you are until you are not….. Brilliantly written the characters are engaging and
I could see this as a TV drama. A read that is good for the soul and makes you
think about your own life and all its privileges and what may lie beneath the surface.
I sincerely hope that there is a book two as I would love to read more about Lola
and Angel. A truly wonderful read.

Angelica Stone Following years of sexual abuse, Angelica is brought up in care. As a teenager she absconds,
living on the streets, before eventually being forced into prostitution to survive. She learns
to rely solely on herself and is reluctant to allow anyone to get close to her, until she forms
an unlikely bond with Lola. In contrast, Lola is from what appears to be a happy middle-class
background – but all is not what it seems... Slowly, as their friendship grows, cracks start to appear in Lola’s life, and a series of events
leave her on the verge of ruin. Can these women break the cycle of their lives? Or will they
succumb to the path laid out before them? Angelica Stone is an emotional roller coaster of
laughter and tears as the women embark on a journey of self-discovery, with the support
of one another. Purchase Links Angelica Stone - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Angelica-Stone-Susi-Osborne/dp/1911320947

Author Bio – Susi Osborne is the author of The Ripples of Life, Grace & Disgrace, Secrets, Lies
& Butterflies and Angelica Stone. She lives in Cheshire with her Scottish husband, her actress
daughter and their two mischievous little dogs. Susi also has an adult son and a grandson
who live nearby. Amongst friends their house is known affectionately (she hopes!) as the
Osborne madhouse, for obvious reasons. Before she became a writer, Susi worked in libraries for many years. She also worked as a
classroom assistant in a junior school. In addition to her writing Susi organises Northwich
LitFest, which she has been running for the past seven years. Alongside the writing of her
latest book, Angelica Stone, Susi has been raising money for Centrepoint, the charity for
youth homelessness, and has set up a Just Giving Page for the charity in her name. Susi is a firm believer in the fact that it’s never too late to do anything. ‘You only have one
life – go out and grab it with both hands!’
