Overview:
Four books, one voice. Jenny Eclair's four-book collection gathers Moving, Inheritance, Older and Wider and Life, Death and Vanilla Slices into a complete reading experience that spans domestic comedy, sharp social observation, and gripping family drama. Moving invites you into Edwina Spinner's quiet life as she prepares to downsize, only to discover that the rooms hold echoes of her younger self and the joys and worries of motherhood. Inheritance sweeps readers through the long shadows of an ancestral house, where generations of secrets shape the present and a fiftieth birthday becomes a crossroads. Older and Wider offers a candid, entertaining look at menopause—humour meeting honesty in equal measure. Life, Death and Vanilla Slices threads a northern family saga through loss, memory, and the obsessions that bind kin. Together, this set offers a rich, varied reading journey from a single, trusted author.
What Makes This Collection Special:
This quartet demonstrates Jenny Eclair's remarkable versatility by pairing intimate, memory-laden fiction with bold, funny, and thought-provoking non-fiction moments. Moving reveals memory’s tug at the heart, while Inheritance widens the lens to multi-generational consequence and secrets kept in family attics and hearts. Older and Wider delivers midlife wit with real warmth, and Life, Death and Vanilla Slices locks the reader into a suspenseful, emotionally charged family mystery. The collection works as a unified reading experience yet invites you to dip into each book for a distinct mood. It also offers a superb gift option for readers who crave depth, laughter, and a satisfying, bookshelf-worthy set from a beloved author.
Books Included in This Collection:
Moving
In Moving, Edwina Spinner's life as a once-busy mother has quietened into a solitary routine in a house that feels too large. When she hires an estate agent to help sell it, the house seems to open a doorway to her earlier years and the children she raised—Rowena and Charlie—and a stepson she can't name. The narrative blends tenderness with wit as memory collides with present reality, illuminating what home means and what it costs to keep or let go.
Inheritance
Inheritance threads the saga through the mansion Kittiwake, a place that has seen generations of passings-through. Bought by American heiress Peggy Carmichael seventy years ago, its keys have descended to Bel's adoptive brother, Lance. For Lance's fiftieth birthday, Bel returns, confronting the events surrounding the death of a child that set a long shadow in motion. Across decades, the house binds family members and reveals how choices echo through time.
Older and Wider
Older and Wider is a witty, no-nonsense guide to the menopause, mixing laughter with honesty. Structured as an A–Z tour—from C for Carb-loading to V for Vaginas—it's part memoir, part practical handbook. Expect relatable anecdotes about mood swings, the empty nest, self-care, and the art of getting your life back on track. It’s a refreshing companion for midlife readers who want humor to help navigate change and celebrate the unpredictability of this life stage.
Life, Death and Vanilla Slices
Life, Death and Vanilla Slices follows a northern family where Jess goes missing and Jean lies in a coma after a road accident. Anne returns to the family home to seek answers, while a box of vanilla slices—a symbol of celebrations—hangs over the mystery. As years crack open secrets long buried, the novel threads guilt, resilience, and the loyalties that keep families together.
