...you describe a book and someone tells you the title?

It's "Mumsnet" isn't it?

Ha ha, very good! Well, here goes :)

(cut and pasted from the tv section).

Does anyone remember this? It was a series I think on ITV about a teenage girl whose father left home to live with his girlfriend in London. The address was something square? She had an older brother maybe, and the series follows her over the next few years until she has left home.

No idea what it was called, I've looked on Wikipedia with no success. Can any of you extremely kind lurverly people help? Please?

Maybe the girls name was Anna? I remember a few other details - there is one scene where she is walking down a road in the lake district towards a pub and she has a very strong feeling of deja vu, and then it turns out that the landlord is her real father, or something like that (she had learnt/learned that the man in London was not actually her dad a few years previously).

Her 'father' goes to live with his girlfriend, a middle aged woman who has no kids, in her central london home with an address something like Chelsea Square. Her mother is slowly losing her sanity and there is a scene where she gets called out of school in the middle of the day to be told her father is leaving (I think). It's all quite hazy tbh, but I would love to know what it is.

It was a tv series, but I remember having the book too. Does anyone recall the book?

is it an adult book?
Because it sounds like something Jacqueline Wilson might write.

FrozenChocolate · 07/09/2010 00:54

Well I was quite young when it was on but I remember it as an adult book and series, it was on in the 9pm drama slot or similar.

Definitely not Jacqueline Wilson.

Is the website you're thinking of Abebooks?

FrozenChocolate · 07/09/2010 14:12

I don't think so, I can't find a suitable section there.

In the Community section of the Abebooks site - Book Sleuth

Loganberry books helped me find a book I couldn't remember the exact title and author. but abebooks are good too.

Thanks Werewolf and Dandy, I tried Abe Books and got it - My Father's House by Kathleen Conlon.
