Prize-winning Novel 'Change of Life' For Those Who Are Over 'Chick-Lit'

Online, June 24, 2011 (Newswire.com) - CHANGE OF LIFE by Anne Stormont, winner of the Edinburgh Writers' Club Unpublished Prize, has been receiving rave reviews and interest. In particular, its appeal is to those readers that have graduated from Chick-Lit - an intelligent, mature readership key to book-buying.

Anne Stormont set about writing the novel following a cancer diagnosis, from which she has successfully recovered. She lives in the stunningly scenic Hebrides and is currently writing a second novel.

CHANGE OF LIFE is an emotional tale, full of warmth, love, hope and moments of sadness - a contemporary story of a modern family under pressure with very real and three dimensional characters:

Be careful what you wish for... Wife to heart surgeon and control freak, Tom and mother to four adolescent children, Rosie feels taken for granted as she juggles family life and her work as a teacher. She longs for a change of life. When she hits a teenage boy with her car, her life explodes into uncharted territory. The boy is Robbie - and Rosie discovers he is part of a terrible secret that Tom has kept for seventeen years. Then Rosie is diagnosed with breast cancer. Rosie leaves home and begins the fight for her life. Meanwhile Tom, is forced to learn what it means to be a husband and father. He struggles to keep his family together and strives to get his wife back.

CHANGE OF LIFE was selected by Waterstone's St. Andrew's as a Summer Read and Anne Stormont has been featured in print and on radio.
