Description

Gwen is coasting through life. She’s in her mid-thirties, perpetually single, her friends are busy procreating in the countryside and conversations with her parents seem to revolve entirely around the council’s wheelie-bin timetable. **And she’s lonely. But then, isn’t everyone?** When she’s made redundant from a job she hardly cares about, she takes herself out for a fancy dinner. There she has the best sticky toffee pudding of her life and realises she has *no one* to tell. She vows to begin living her life fully, reconnect with her friends and family, and finally book that dentist’s appointment. Gwen decides to start where all things get a second chance: her local charity shop. There, with the help of the weird and wonderful people and donated items bursting with untold stories, Gwen will find a way to move forward with bravery, tenacity, and more regular dental care. **Dazzlingly witty, *Preloved* is a tale about friendship, loss and being true to yourself no matter the expectations, lovingly celebrating the enduring power and joy of charity shops.**
