While We Were Watching Downton Abbey

Four strangers, one addictive drama, and a season of surprises. . . When Edward invites his neighbours to watch Downton Abbey, he never imagines that his weekly screenings will change the lives of three very different women . . . Samantha married for the wrong reason: security for herself and her orphaned brother and sister. But marriage is more complicated than she expected, particularly when a family betrayal shatters everything. Claire left her empty nest in the suburbs for a new life. As she struggles to find her feet, she worries that she's clinging to a hopeless dream. And then there's Brooke, in a constant battle with her faithless ex-husband, and trying to accept that her life isn't the fairy tale she always wanted. Drawn together by the joy, heartbreak and glamour of Downton Abbey, the four unlikely friends begin to forge a connection to the show - and to each other - that will help them through the interweaving drama of their own lives . . . The perfect uplifting read for fans of Downton Abbey!
