Arabella is a thirty-year-old mother of one who is happily married until she makes the grim discovery that her husband has been seeing another woman. Aware that Christmas is just around the corner and that they are not likely to spend another one together, she decides to keep her knowledge a secret, to ensure that their daughter has the best Christmas ever. The only way she can get through it though, is to make sure her husband thinks he's going insane. Set in rural England and Los Angeles, Arabella goes on a physical and metaphorical journey of revenge which eventually results in her finding herself. From the snowy local village at Christmas time to the palm trees of Hollywood a year later, Arabella proves to be heart-warming comedy about mother who will do anything to protect her child whilst trying to keep her head above water in a newfound world as a single mother. Think Bridget Jones on speed! "Arabella is a must-read for anyone who's been on the receiving end of infidelity...and anyone who hasn't. Elizabeth Blake-Thomas takes you from heart-wrenching moments to laugh-out-loud humour and it all comes straight from her real life experience. You will fall in love with Arabella." - Abigail titmus "What a great read! Arabella took me on such a ride, I was totally engaged from beginning to end. I really felt like I was sharing in the emotional journey of the character. So thoughtfully and authentically written, and very amusing in places too." ¬- Dan Richardson, Actor (The Lodge, Disney) "Loved 'Arabella' from start to finish. Literally couldn't put it down, especially when I found out it was based on a true story. This made it even more intriguing. Highly Recommend." - Kierston Wareing, Actress
