Charming, talky, wryly funny, poignant and original - Rise and Shine is a love story, yes, but it's a love story that happens ten years into a marriage, when somebody wants out.

This is a story about marriage. It is also a story about life and love and happiness and the absence of happiness and what we need to do to find it again.

It's a story about hope, baking, making music, lemon trees, painting, love, divorce, dogs, the families we create for ourselves, and the heat of the Brisbane sun.

It's a story about August and Noah.

It begins at the end.

Rise and Shine is an utterly surprising delight, a break-up tale that is also a love story; endearing, astringent, talky, wry, wise, uplifting and so original.

Praise for RISE AND SHINE

'A love story the colour of sunshine, bittersweet and with a fragrance that haunts a room, about finding joy in tending to something without knowing if it will ever bear fruit. Warm and charming' CLARE FLETCHER

'Assured, tender and observant, Allsopp writes about love and marriage with forensic clarity' JESSICA DETTMANN

'A love story that made me laugh, a comedy that warmed my heart' LAUREN SAMS

'Utterly delightful. Kimberley Allsopp has written a novel about all of us and the glorious mess that is grown-up life' FRANCES WHITING
