Overview: Pauline Lawless was born in Dublin but she has lived most of her life in the midlands. She was educated at Belgrove School, Clontarf and St Louis Convent, Balla, Co Mayo.
She started writing after she retired from business and her first novel, Because We’re Worth It, was a bestseller in 2009. It came about as a result of her experiences running Superslim Slimming Clubs in the midlands for many years. Her second novel, If the Shoes Fit, was inspired by her years working as an area manager with an international cosmetics company, also in the midlands, except that the cosmetics have been replaced by shoes!
When Pauline is not writing she likes to escape to the golf course.
Genre: Contemporary Women | Chicklit
If the Shoes Fit
‘Calling All Shoe Addicts’, said the advertisement that triggered a response in four very different women, each at a difficult time of her life.
Niamh, at 23, the mother of a five-year-old and twin girls aged four, is desperate to have a home of her own. She longs to escape the house of her vicious mother-in-law but her charming, irresponsible husband and the mountain of debts they have makes this seem ever more unlikely.
Amber, former air stewardess whose husband Dermot left her for a younger woman, has lost all her confidence and is drowning her sorrows with alcohol.
Tessa, beautiful former model, paid the price for living life in the fast lane when she almost died from a heart attack. Her reliable friend, George, persuaded her to come and live with him in Ireland. She now realises that she’s made a dreadful mistake.
Rosie, recently widowed, can’t come to terms with the loss of the man she loved so much. Life without him doesn’t seem worth living.
All of them, needing a way out, find it with the Italian designer shoe company, If The Shoes Fit. This leads them to a new career, great friendships and a life-changing experience.
The Birthday Girls
They’d met on their first day at school four little girls who were all very different from each other but who somehow became close friends. Their friendship has now lasted thirty-five years. As their birthdays all fall in the same week they long ago made a pact to spend each big decade birthday together. So far they’d managed it.
Now as their thirty-ninth birthday looms, Angel, a famous Hollywood actress, announces that this will be her last birthday. Terrified of aging, she absolutely refuses to turn forty. So Lexi, the mother hen of the group and an artist, invites them to Florida for a week-long celebration of this, their last birthday together.
Brenda, mother to five grown-up children, flies in from Dublin, eagerly looking forward to her first foreign holiday ever. Mel, however, has to be prised away from New York where she is a successful partner in a law firm – Mel is a workaholic with no other friends or love in her life.
The four come together for the celebration but soon things start to unravel and the week ends disastrously. Lexi is distraught. Can their friendship endure? Only time will tell.
