Synopsis

A wonderfully engaging and romantic comedy about Evie Crump and the residents of 18 Kemp Street...When struggling actress Evie Crump inherits a sprawling Victorian pile from an old family friend in Camden, it would seem to be a dream ticket for Evie and best-friend Bing to escape from the leaky-flat-from-hell. Except it comes with a proviso: she may not evict the existing tenants under any circumstances. There's Bernard, a recluse, who doesn't know how to boil an egg; unforthcoming single-mum Caroline; and the mysterious A P Warne of whom there is no sight. And try as she might to focus on reviving her acting career and her love life (without falling for the charms of her leading man), Evie simply can't resist getting involved in the lives of her new family...

Media Reviews
'Fresh, sensitive, fun, addictive and well written. Hodder is deservedly aiming high' The Bookseller on The Reluctant Landlady 20040723 'Exciting debut ... A laugh-out-loud romantic comedy ... This is, quite simply, great fiction and the launch of a talented new author' Booksellers choice (BCA), Bookseller on The Reluctant Landlady 20040820 'The Reluctant Landlady is a rare gem: commercial women's fiction it may be but it's certainly not a hot-pink Jones clone. Strachan is the freshest and funniest writer to enter this genre since Lisa Jewell wrote Ralph's Party and this is full of laugh-out-loud moments' Booksellers choice (Waterstones), Bookseller 20040820
