Waiting in the wings
Released way back in the year 2000, Waiting in the Wings is the first novel written by Donna Hay. I think it won some kind of award back in the day…I've just checked and it did win the RNA's New Writer of the Year award!

I remember this book being wonderfully written, feel good, escapist chick lit in a similiar vein to Jill Mansell.

I've read quite a number of books by Donna Hay, and it constantly surprises me that she's not more widely known…

Anyhoo, if you've read this, let me know what you thought!

The blurb for Waiting in the Wings…

Actress Annie Mitchell is devastated. Her husband Max has run off with her best friend, leaving her with a stack of unpaid bills and the self-esteem of the last sandwich in a railway buffet. But salvation is on the horizon care of her agent, Julia, who has a tall, dark and disconcertingly sexy surprise up her sleeve. Protesting madly, Annie finds herself bound for Yorkshire and a starring role in rep'. The only problem being that Much Ado About Nothing has nothing on events at the Phoenix Theatre. Not only is Annie forced to work with Nick Ryan, Julia's surprise and the man Annie ditched for Max, but something or someone is determined to see the Phoenix reduced to ashes…
