Beginner’s pluck: Karin Walker’s brilliant summer read

This heartwarming novel focuses on three women as they negotiate huge life changes. Will their friendship survive all the deception?

Karin Walker wrote her book in 2007 before updating it a year ago: 'I updated the novel and submitted it again. I now have a three-book deal.'

Karin didn’t read as a child but, as a teenager, she became a “list fanatic”.

“They became more than lists,” she says. “I was emptying my head onto my Filofax. It was my outlet.”
