Just Business

Niamh Lynch appears to have it all: a high-flying career, a handsome, successful husband and a loving family. But looks can be deceiving.

From the moment she has to deliver the terrible news that there will be heavy redundancies at her workplace, her marriage crumbles and her life falls apart.

Certain cracks have been there for a long time, since her family left Ireland. Others are new. Who will catch her as she falls? Her mother whom she can't forgive? Her father from his grave? Or Scott, a man who has just lost his job, but who seems to understand her like nobody else does?

Ber Carroll was born in Blarney, County Cork, and moved to Australia in 1995.

Her latest novel, The Better Woman, is released in April 2009. Ber lives in Sydney's Northern Beaches with her husband and two children.
