A HOPELESS ROMANTIC
Book ID/图书代码: 08145006B08449
English Summary/英文概要: The warm and enchanting new novel from the bestselling author of "Going Home". Laura Foster was a hopeless romantic. It was her greatest character flaw, for it was the one thing that genuinely got her into trouble! Her friends know it, her parents know it - even Laura acknowledges she lives either with her head in the clouds or buried in a romantic novel. But what’s wrong with seeing the world through rose-tinted glasses, even if it’s not delivered her a real-life dashing hero yet? But when Laura’s latest relationship ends in disaster rather than a glorious sunset, she swears off men, and particularly hopeless romantic fantasies, for good. With her life in tatters around her, she foolishly agrees to go on holiday with her parents and grandmother (combined age nearly 200!). After a few days of traipsing round Norfolk craft shops and National Trust properties, Laura’s ready to tear her hair out. And then, she meets prickly but sexy Nick, estate manager at Chartley Hall, one of the country’s greatest stately homes. She swiftly finds she shares more than just a sense of humour with him - in fact, she starts to think she could fall for him. But is Nick all he seems? Or has Laura got it wrong again? Will he be the one who makes her enter the convent permanently or is he The One who could thaw her frozen heart?

About the Author/作者介绍: 生于1974年的哈里特•埃文斯,在奇斯维克的穷街陋巷长大和读书。幼年成绩平平的她对阅读和戏剧非常着迷。唯一值得炫耀的是埃文斯曾在小学获得过5至18岁涂鸦创作比赛奖。
从学校毕业后,她来到英国布里斯托大学就读古典文学,在那里埃文斯十分享受喜爱自己在那所学府的深造时光,因为没有人会知道她的曾经从事唱诗班的过去出身。随后她又离开学校,只身前往伦敦闯荡。
埃文斯本打算进入杂志社,但唯一录用她的是一家女士杂志,在那里她学到了很多知识。
作者,著有六部小说:《回家》《无望的浪漫》《她的生命之爱》《我记得》《一直爱》《从此快乐》。
作者现居伦敦并从事全职写作,为此她放弃了自己的工作。
Hi there Amazonians, greetings and thanks for stopping to read this. I have written seven novels (WHAT? how did that happen. That’s completely bonkers.) Yes, seven. Anyway while I get over that, what else do you need to know? I live in London, near the canal. I like: the Golden Girls, karaoke, the clothes shop Anthropologie, books books and more books, and my daughter Cora and my boyfriend Chris. Not in that order. I used to work in publishing and look at authors and think well, I can do that! SoI thought I’d fulfill my life-long ambition and try writing a book because how hard can it be? Now I know the answer which is: er, kind of pretty hard. But it’s the best job in the world (apart from acting in musicals which one day I also hope to do *stop kidding yourself & get back to work*) and I know that too.
My latest book, NOT WITHOUT YOU, is out now. It’s about two film stars, one present-day, one from the 50s and the secret that links them. I loved writing it. I love old films and this was like research, but in my pajamas.
