The Ghost Mothers

Autor Jackie McCarthy
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 mar 2020
Yasmin's resume is fake, but her ghost mothers are annoyingly real. Can she thwart her boss, and prevent The Woman's Standard magazine - and her ghostly friends - from imploding?
Twenty-something Yasmin Taylor-Lee is woefully under-skilled at life. She lives in her childhood home with her mother and annoying little sister, who both wish she'd move out already. She's also a little odd, having three 'fairy ghost mothers' as best friends, whom only she can see.
Her ghost mothers - the activist, the scientist and the spy - spring from the historical pages of The Standard itself. They lend wisdom from their respective eras - wartime 1950s, the social upheaval of the 1970s, and the scientific achievements of the 2000s. Can Yasmin's ephemeral besties aid her career success? And what hilarious consequences ensue if they decide to be...not so ephemeral?
But when Yasmin lands the dream job (after stalking the limousine of the all-powerful magazine editor), Yasmin's problems have just begun. She must draw on the strengths of her beloved besties to confront her lies and uncover the truth. The magazine, the publishing company and the very existence of her ghostly friends are at stake...
If you enjoy women's fiction with a historical nod and magical twist, you'll love this entertaining debut.
