Ellen's back from a two-year trip around Europe. Too bad she didn't find time to phone home. But her parents are bound to welcome her. shower her with affection, and roll out the fatted calf in the form of finance for her next great escape. Aren't they? But something's changed in the perfect suburban household. Someone's sleeping in her bed and taking her place at table. The impossible has happened: beloved big brother James has been bewitched by a white-trash golden girl in red marabou-topped slippers. Worse, everyone loves her. Ellen's been usurped by a junk-food fan called April. Other dilemmas complicate matters. Ellen desires the elusive - and dangerous - Frederick, who refuses to give her the time of day. She craves career satisfaction but lacks the drive. She longs for James to resume his role in her life as best friend. But above all. she wants her place in the family back - and that means getting rid of her rival. While April's popularity soars. Ellen grits her teeth and plots her downfall. It's not simple. April might not have had the benefits of an expensive education but when it comes to family, she's an expert - more than can be said for Ellen, who is too busy looking for the enemy to see that people are not always what they seem... ' April Rising stands on its own terms: a sharp and distinctive novel about family life. Lemattre has wit and warmth, and the ability to be strange.' Nicci GERRARD 'Impressive...enough sardonic wit to keep even the most cynical book reviewer happy' Daily Mirror
