Celebrate the publication of Eleanor Elliott Thomas’ brilliant new novel, Do We Deserve This? to be launched by Emily Spurr at Readings Carlton.

Bean Halloway, lone nobody in a family of ambitious somebodies, is still figuring out what she wants from her life. She always says she doesn't care about money-but will that still be the case when she finds herself in possession of a lottery ticket worth millions? Bean bought the ticket for her mother Nina, who is glamorous and charismatic-but not exactly an ideal parent. Before Bean can hand it over, an accident leaves Nina in a coma.
