PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Ali Lowe has been a journalist for 20 years. She has written for bridal magazines, parenting titles, websites and newspapers in London and then Australia, after she moved to Sydney fourteen years ago on a trip that was meant to last a year. She was Features Editor at OK! in London, where she memorably stalked celebrities in Elton John's garden at his annual White Tie and Tiara ball. Ali lives on the northern beaches of Sydney with her husband and three young children.
The Running Club has it all: old and new secrets, glamour and greed, and extreme competitiveness which is darkly funny ... until it turns criminal. I raced to the last page * B. M. Carroll * Wow . . . this is one running club that I certainly won't be joining anytime soon! (And if I do, I'll be watching my back!) The Running Club is a sharp, clever and compelling read about family, friends and the secrets and lies that bind them together . . . I couldn't stop turning the pages and read it in just two days! Ali's characterisation is always pitch-perfect leaving me both surprised and horrified by the dark side lurking beneath the glamourous and wealthy facades of her protagonists. The Running Club is no exception - nearly everyone in Esperance is hiding something, so I'd advise keeping your running spikes at home . . . * Sarah Pearse *
