MORE IS MORE

Warm, witty and painfully honest, the Contrary Mary series is feelgood with a feel-bad edge, emotionally fearless six-book series about starting over when you are old enough to know better, and young enough to do it anyway. A journey through marriage, grief, divorce, desire, revenge and reinvention, following one deeply imperfect woman as she learns that changing your life can be every bit as messy as staying put.

When everything falls apart, there is nowhere left to hide.

After her mother’s death and the collapse of the life she once knew, Maria finds herself balancing between grief, self-destructive impulses and a growing determination to get back on her feet.

Relationships are pushed to their limits, long-buried truths catch up with her, and Maria is forced to confront a difficult question: how much can a person really change?

More Is More is the second instalment in Lena Koppel’s women’s fiction series Contrary Mary. Darker and sharper, yet ultimately hopeful, it is a story about hitting rock bottom – and finding the strength to start climbing back up.
