Lizzie is reeling from a decades-old discovery that changes everything she thought she knew about her friends, her family and her marriage. Alice has always been the good-time girl, as charismatic presenting the weather on television as she is working as a life model. But decades of piecemeal gigs have left her with a safety net that is rapidly unravelling. Meanwhile, Lizzie's perfectionist daughter Margot is realising that, despite having built herself a faultlessly curated life, she hasn't put her troubled past behind her as neatly as she thought she had.
Whenever You're Ready is a sweetly wise and gently wistful novel about the secrets and seasons of three intertwined lives.

'The grief in Bolton’s novel is weighty and pervasive, but her tone is light and matter-of-fact; it’s as if Sally Hepworth wrote Jennifer Down’s Bodies of Light. Bolton has written through the ‘not knowing what to say’ of grief. This book will also appeal to fans of Gail Honeyman with her rendering of retired, but not retiring, women.' Books + Publishing”
