"Three husbands, one cousin, and more than five toilets: Hetty's not looking for redemption-just a working loo and a decent playlist."Meet Henrietta R Cornell-Hetty to her friends, mother of two, devout Catholic with a sharp tongue and sharper eyeliner, and a woman who's survived heartbreak, high heels, and holy water with sass to spare.In this riotous, irreverent memoir-novel hybrid, Hetty takes you from church pews to caravans, from Clingfilm Ben to Cornetto Boy, through funerals, affairs (one regrettably digital), and the occasional divine intervention via rosé. Love Without Allusion is a hilarious, heartbreaking, and unfiltered account of a woman who's tripped through life, staggered through marriages, and somehow ended up standing taller than ever-in Spanx.Perfect for readers who love a messy middle, a fearsome female cast, and a heroine who fries eggs while fielding exes and quoting her Nannie's homemade psalms.Warning: May cause laughter-induced leakage. Not responsible for poolside readers falling off sunbeds in Lanzarote.
