Sleeping Partners [Paperback]

Lou Wakefield (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2005

At 39, Pauline Watkins decides something must be done about her routine job and her marriage to a partner who thinks that bedtime is just for sleeping. An exotic holiday would be a start, and she takes part in a house swap, trading her Leicester home for a piece of paradise in Australia. On the other side of the world, Lorna Mackenzie has reached a similar conclusion, but for a rather different reason—her sleeping partner is sleeping around. For Pauline and Lorna, a holiday swap turns into the journey of a lifetime.
