  From Catherine Alliott, bestselling author of A Crowded Marriage and One Day in May, comes Going Too Far, a gorgeous rural romantic comedy. 'You've gone all fat and complacent because you've got your man, haven't you?' Polly Penhalligan is outraged at the suggestion that since getting married to Nick and settling into their beautiful manor farmhouse in Cornwall she has let herself go. But watching a lot of telly and gorging on biscuits, not getting dressed until lunchtime and waiting for pregnancy to strike are not the signs of someone living an active and fulfilled life. So Polly does something rash. She allows her home to be used as a location for a TV advert. Having a glamorous film crew around will certainly put a bomb under the idyllic, rural life. Only perhaps she should have consulted Nick first. Because before the cameras have even started to roll - and complete chaos descends on the farm - Polly's marriage has been turned upside down. This time she really has gone too far . . . Step into Alliott country with Going Too Far. Praise for Catherine Alliott: 'Alliott's joie de vivre is irresistible' Daily Mail 'An addictive cocktail of wit, frivolity and madcap romance' Time Out

  The wonderful novel from Sunday Times bestseller, Catherine Alliott. 'You've gone all fat and complacent because you've got your man, haven't you?' There are things only your best friend can tell you, but this outrageous suggestion is met with indignation from Polly Penhalligan, who is recently married, trying for a baby and blissfully happy in her beautiful manor farmhouse in Cornwall. At least she was, until Pippa's unfortunate remark forces her to realise that her idyllic life of gorging on chocolate biscuits, counting her seemingly endless blessings and not getting dressed until lunchtime could be having a few unwelcome side-effects. So Polly decides to razz things up a bit -- and agrees to allow her home to be used as a location for a commercial. But even before the cameras are set up and the stars released from their kennels, Polly's life and marriage have been turned upside down. This time, it seems, she's gone too far...
