Thrown

Sara Cox

Coronet £14.99

Clearly inspired by hosting The Great Pottery Throw Down, Cox’s warm, funny debut heads into a community centre where a pottery class changes the lives of four women. Louise craves an artistic life, single mum Becky is a reluctant romantic, Jameela has fertility issues and Sheila longs to live in Spain.

Add a handsome pottery instructor, a partner with a secret and a criminal ex, and you have a lovable novel that explores female friendship, heartfelt passions and the ties that bind.
