Anna Hope - Expectation

Anna Hope returns to the Book Club for the second time, this year with her novel Expectation. Hannah, Cate and Lissa live together in East London, their worlds connected by activism, art, romance, and their high hopes for their futures. However, ten years on, their careers, marriages and friendships aren’t what they expected. Anna tells Richard and Judy why having a baby made her reassess what kind of books she wanted to write, and how she drew upon her own bizarre experiences of acting auditions to flesh out one of her characters. Head to your local WHSmith or www.whsmith.co.uk to buy your special edition copy of Expectation, and browse the entire seasonal Book Club collection.
