Descripci�n Paperback. Condici�n: new. Paperback. A love story about things. Gwens life has stalled. Shes in her mid-thirties, perpetually single, her friends are busy procreating in the country and conversations with her parents seem to revolve entirely around herbaceous borders and the councils wheelie-bin timetable. Above all shes lonely. But then, isnt everyone? When Gwens made redundant from a job she drifted into a decade ago and never left, she realises its time to make a change. Over what might be the best and most solitary meal shes ever eaten, Gwen vows to find something meaningful to do with her life, reconnect with her family and friends and finally book herself a dentist appointment. Her search for meaning soon leads her to volunteer in a local charity shop where she both literally and metaphorically unloads her emotional baggage. With the help of the weird and wonderful people she meets in the shop and the donated items bursting with untold stories that pass through its doors, Gwen must finally address the events and choices that led her to this point and find a way to move forward with bravery, humanity and more regular dental care. Brimming with life, love and the stories bound up in even the most everyday items, Preloved is a tale about friendship, loss, being true to oneself no matter the expectations and the enduring power and joy of charity shops. Praise for Preloved 'A heartwarming tale of friendship, loss and being true to yourself, regardless of expectations.' Red magazine 'I think Ive been waiting for a novel like Preloved for my whole reading life. This is a luscious, shimmering book of depth and delicacy. Its sad, hilarious, sad, tender, brutal, brilliantly observed there is a sense of magic on every page.' Daisy Buchanan, author of Insatiable 'Preloved is full of sharp observations on life, loss, regret and self-preservation. spilling over with wit and hope. Cleverly interwoven with stories of the myriad reasons items find their way into charity shops, the joy, friendship and ultimate enlightenment Gwen discovers offers a quirky and poignant reminder that one person's trash is always somebody else's treasure.' Julietta Henderson, author of The Funny Thing about Norman Foreman 'Just like that once-in-a-lifetime charity shop find, Preloved is a gleaming prize to be treasured. Lauren Bravo is witty and thoughtful in her exploration of our relationship with objects and trends, believing that just as a pair of shoes can have many, many lives so can the people that wear them.' Caroline O'Donohue, author of Promising Young Woman 'Laugh-out-loud funny but also poignant and tender, Preloved is an absorbingly special debut novel. I devoured in equal measure the delicious descriptions of food and the moving vignettes of preloved treasures peppered throughout the book, while the nineties and noughties nostalgia had me gasping with pleasure.' Laura Price, author of Single Bald Female 'Full of relatable anecdotes, lively, funny and modern, Preloved is a moving tale of emancipation and friendship. I loved it!' Margaux Vialleron, author of The Yellow Kitchen Brimming with life, love and the stories bound up in even the most everyday items, Preloved is a tale about friendship, loss, being true to oneself no matter the expectations and the enduring power and joy of charity shops.
