A Small Town Affair

Rosie Wallace

A delicious recipe for domestic disaster!Take one small town where everyone thinks they know everyone else’s business. Add three households: MP Mike Andrews, his wife Gill and two young children; Church of Scotland minister Tom Graham, his wife Ali, two teenage daughters and an afterthought; Sixty-something local businessman Jack Caldwell, and his childless wife Phyllis. Mix in several large dollops of scandal, some secrets and a tragedy. Turn up the heat and bring to the boil. Season with one eccentric old lady – Minty Oliver – and serve with the tabloid press and a big helping of local gossip.

Reviews of A Small Town Affair

'Wallace gleefully exposes the gossipy thought bubbles of the self-righteous and genteel…consistently wry and often joyously funny' Herald 'A rollicking read…with a good eye for what lies beneath the surface' Australian Women's Weekly 'Neatly observed…enjoyably witty' Scotsman 'An easily inhaled, colourful tale…with moments of poignancy and humour' Courier Mail 'Hugely entertaining' Sunday Post 'Hilarious…a tale of quaint country folk peppered with smatterings of bigotry, raunchiness and intrigue' Orkney Today 'Her observations about women's lives are sharply pointed and pertinent' Sydney Morning Herald 'Rosie Wallace captures the small town perfectly…a very funny and authentic novel' forargyll.com

In 2007, her husband stood down from the Scottish Parliament and was appointed to the House of Lords, so she acquired a title which is only used occasionally!
