Amazon 100 Best Seller in Women’s Fiction Humour!
After Shirley Valentine, after The First Wives Club and hot on the naked heels of Calendar Girls… there was The New Mrs D!
Four days into their honeymoon in Greece, Bernice and David Dando have yet to consummate their marriage and after having accepted his almost non-existent desire for sex throughout the relationship, Bernice finally discovers the reason; he is addicted to porn. Learning that the love of her life chooses the cheap thrill of fantasy over her is devastating but then, ‘every man does it; it’s just looking, right?’ If she leaves the relationship because of virtual adultery, will she be labelled as pathological, overreacting, or even worse, frigid?
When funny, feisty, forty-something Bernice plans the adventure trip of a lifetime, she doesn’t expect to be spending it alone. But as it turns out, unintentionally contributing to a Greek fish explosion, nude karaoke and hilarious misadventures with volcanoes are exactly what she needs to stop fretting about errant husbands and really start living. But when Mr D tries to win her back, Bernice has a decision to make: is this a holiday from her humdrum life, or the start of a whole new adventure?
“The New Mrs D is a refreshing, sharp-witted and empowering romp that reflects real life, delves into unspoken about subjects and slaps the reader in the face with honesty.” Fleur Ferris, author
It is a story about one woman’s midlife awakening… on her honeymoon alone.

“the perfect setting for a hilarious update to Eat Pray Love” – Tara Gladden Cornerstones
˃˃˃ International Praise For The New Mrs D
The New Mrs D by Heather Hill had me laughing from page 1. The book is so engaging that I stayed up all night to read it – I downloaded it at 10.30 pm and just kept reading. To say it grabbed me by the short and curlies is an understatement! I totally identified with Binnie and so “got it”. Heather’s light, chatty writing style is refreshingly “real” and she has all the hallmarks of a truly great story teller.
This is a woman’s story. It’s hysterically funny, empowering and truthful.
I hope we see more excellent stories from Heather Hill – anyone who can make me laugh in the opening paragraph and maintain it, has my undivided attention. She’s a gifted author.
This book could so easily become a box office smash. I hope someone decides to make The New Mrs D into that film.
