The Missing Marriage

Praise for The Rise and Fall of the Queen of Suburbia: 'May's shrewd sideways glance makes this a novel moving and menacing by turns' Observer 'Sarah May has a rare talent for melding the farcical with the tragic, and has produced a novel which - but for an ending worthy of Tom Sharpe - is a scathingly successful piece of social commentary' Daily Mail 'Sarah May has brought the obsessions, ambitions and class paranoia of Thatcher's Britain beautifully back to life. It's a visceral read, but this is one book you'll be happy to read in a rush' Daily Express 'Full of hilarious pop-culture detail, this is a dizzying celebration of the 80s...Laugh-out-loud' Eve Magazine 'Like Mike Leigh directing Desperate Housewives; a brilliantly 1980s suburban drama' Elle Magazine

Sarah May is an intimate observer of society (AKA curtain-twitcher of the highest order). She is the author of five previous novels. She lives in London with her theatre director husband and their two children.
