Ellen's beloved, beautiful, complicated family are gathered around her hospital bed as she prepares to slip away, and boy, is she ready. You'd think she could finally get some peace and quiet, but instead her children have chosen now of all times to have a never-ending discussion about her failings. Every single tiny thing they think she's done wrong over the years - and the one big thing too. After all the sacrifices Ellen has made for every last ungrateful one of them, they still take their father's side. If only they knew the whole story.

Full of big personalities, big mistakes, burning love and quiet heartbreak, Good Good Loving moves backwards in time through some of the most dramatic turning points in the life of Ellen and her family. Their story is as heartrending as it is joyous.

Industry Reviews

Massively entertaining, scorching, brilliant, witty, shocking, spirited and psychologically penetrating

Wonderful. Richly textured, warm, funny, full of heart and very moving

Surprised me, gripped me, made me laugh out loud, and also left me deeply moved. A triumph

A classic and hugely satisfying story of a family in all its rights and wrongs, sins and quirks, bickering and love ... emotional, thoughtful, profoundly human, wise and good good fun

A powerhouse writer. Every Yvvette Edwards book makes me excited. The rich psychological tapestries she creates for her characters are second to none

A wise, powerful, gripping and profoundly moving novel by a writer of exceptional talent

Sharp, funny, deeply entertaining and full of heart. The characters are flawed, stubborn, and absolutely infuriating, but you feel such tenderness towards them. And just when the story guts you, it turns around and makes you laugh
