How well do you ever really know your husband? And how did Libby - a thoroughly decent straighty one-eighty who's never even had a speeding ticket - end up with Ludo?
Loyal country girl Libby Popovic lives a golden life with her confident financier husband Ludo and their two children, Harrison and Ana. When Ludo is jailed for financial fraud, and her friends and family lose tens of thousands of dollars as a result, Libby feels agonizingly complicit for hosting the final investor pitch in their home. Matters go from atrocious to worse when her possessions and home are repossessed, Libby is sacked and a priceless family heirloom is wrecked. While camping out at the rural goat farm where she was raised, she's forced to re-evaluate her life choices.
A warm, funny and outrageously unfair novel about deception, financial fraud and goat's cheese, and the possibility of starting your life all over again when everything goes south of the border.
About the author
Liz Foster was born and raised in England before arriving in Australia in 1991 on what turned out to be the longest gap year ever. Following a career in strategic marketing and copywriting, she began making stuff up seven years ago – editing the fifty-page Australian Tax Office guide was the tipping point.
Liz is passionate about smart and heartfelt book club fiction - creating character driven, page-turning, uplifting stories in quirky Australian settings, with big themes that resonate. She lives with her family in Sydney, peppering them endlessly with questions about plot scenarios in between listening to podcasts, reading out loud and boring the dog senseless.
The Good Woman’s Guide to Making Better Choices is her first novel.
It will be available in the Library after 26 December 2023 and from all good booksellers such as Constant Reader.
Constant Reader Bookshop will have copies of the book for sale on the day.
