press and media activity along with helpful facts and files to download. Key Facts:
TELL ME SOMETHING PRESS RELEASE Press release files: Tell Me Something : Young Wives' Tales Adele Parks is one of our most-loved and biggest-selling women’s fiction writers in the UK. She has sold over a million copies of her eight bestselling titles in the UK alone and her books have been translated into over fifteen languages. Her previous seven novels (which include contemporary classics such as Playing Away and Young Wives’ Tales) have all been top ten bestsellers. Her new novel, Tell Me Something is set in Italy, and though it includes a healthy dose of warm Italian sun and hot Italian men, it isn’t all sultry sunshine and perfect percolations. In true Adele style, she gets to the nitty gritty of our every day concerns and, with a warm Mediterranean backdrop, she scrutinises our concepts of growing up, family, love and infidelity with her trademark sincerity and humour. Be it critics or readers, fans of Adele Parks agree, that it is her sassy humour, witty writing and tell-it-as-it is style that have us all begging for the next one please! “Romantic comedy with attitude” Tatler “Thoroughly entertaining, funny and well-written rom-com” Mirror “just the right amount of bitchiness, passion and unpredictability that made it so hard to put the book down.” Amazon Reader “When it comes to reflecting feminine issues, Adele Parks has her finger on the pulse” Glamour “Acutely observed and highly readable” Emma Lee Potter, Express “I couldn't put it down. It made me laugh, it made me cry but most of all, when I finally closed the book after the last page, IT MADE ME THINK.” Amazon Reader “You won’t be able to put it down” Heat “Sassy and best-selling slice of summer fun” Marie Claire “I for one will look out for every book this woman writes - she writes for the "me time" I value so much.” Amazon Reader “Funny, addictive, a must for the beach bag” Eve “Compulsively addictive” Elle Adele is available for interview, to write features or short stories.
