Congratulations to Lucinda Blanchard from Cowes, who has just published her debut novel, Swaying, on Amazon this month.
Lucinda chose Isle of Wight as a setting for her controversial novel, which has already been praised with five star reviews from readers.
The book follows a young woman, Charlotte, and her quest to have a daughter. It takes into account many points of view and emotions in the taboo world of gender selection.
Lucinda told OnTheWight,
“Swaying is contemporary women’s fiction. Having researched the subject, it is surprising how many people suffer with gender depression, and are so desperate that they attempt to sway the odds for a girl or a boy using at-home methods.
“In my book, Charlotte wants a daughter so badly it develops into an obsession. What lengths will she be willing to go to fulfil her need to have a baby of a specific sex even though it threatens her sanity, her marriage, her two sons’ happiness and her friend’s life?”
You can buy Lucinda’s novel in paperback or ebook through Amazon.
The author was born and raised in Cowes and works as an Insurance Advisor. She is married with three young children.
