In Sadie''s head, she''s a novelist. In real life, she spends her day searching for the ultimate way to say red at Grrl, an ultra hip make-up company. In her sex life, she''s a modern-day Lolita who''s never dated a man under forty.

Then Sadie falls in love with Marley, a graffiti artist with a firm commitment to another woman: his eight-year-old daughter, Montana. Sadie isn''t used to competing for a man''s affections and certainly not with a little girl who is uncannily like herself. Real love could just be too grown up for her...

Cherries in the Snow is a novel about womanhood, love, and lipstick. Flippant, sexy, acid and smart, this is Emma Forrest at her most dazzling.
