Thrown

The glorious feel-good Sunday Times Bestseller of love, friendship and pottery

By: Sara Cox

Narrated by: Sara Cox

The wise and gloriously big-hearted debut novel from the much-loved broadcaster, Sara Cox

Becky: a single mum who prides herself on her independence. She knows from painful experience that men are trouble.
Louise: a loving husband, gorgeous kids. She ought to feel more grateful.
Jameela: all she's ever done is work hard, and try her best. Why won't life give her the one thing she really wants?
Sheila: the nest is empty, there's a lonely little feeling in her tummy and her husband seems so distracted.

The inhabitants of the Inventor's Housing Estate keep themselves to themselves. There are the friendly 'Hellos' when commutes coincide and the odd cheeky eye roll when the wine bottles clank in number 7's wheelie bin, but it's not exactly Ramsay Street.

The dilapidated community centre is no longer the beating heart of the estate that Becky remembers from her childhood. So the new pottery class she's helped set up feels like a fresh start. And not just for her.

The assorted neighbours come together to try out a new skill, under the watchful eye of their charismatic teacher, Sasha. And as the soft unremarkable lumps of clay are hesitantly, lovingly moulded into delicate vases and majestic pots, so too are the lives of four women. Concealed passions and heartaches are uncovered, relationships shattered and formed, and the possibility for transformation is revealed.

Liked the evoking relationships between the women and their support for each other throughout their separate struggles.

I did not want this book to end!

This book was so well written. The characters were relatable and interesting. I am a huge fan of Sara Cox; she always gets people and is so perceptive of people’s struggles - she always has done. I loved this book, it was fast paced, funny, relatable and well narrated by the author.

I hope her current book is available in the US soon. Can’t wait to listen to that.
