On The Edge is warm, funny and truthful about the complexities of families. It’s bursting with positivity, and full of characters the reader can root for. Sarah is great at observing the detail of what makes relationships tick, and how the smallest things can have the biggest impact.

Sarah Turner writes family like no one else. With her trademark humour and insight, Turner creates a colourful world of family secrets and misunderstandings, of arguments and avoidance, while also revealing the love that lies beneath. On the Edge is a funny, pacy, big-hearted love letter to family, about accepting our roots and opening our hearts to the people who know us better than we know ourselves. It made me laugh, swear, gasp and cry and the ending is so compelling I hid in the garage to finish it. I loved it.

A warm, wise, hug of a novel, I adored it and will be recommending it to all my friends

One of the most beautifully tender and brilliantly funny books I’ve read. I felt I made friends from the first page. Sarah is a real talent in the women’s fiction genre and goes from strength to strength

On the Edge is a clever, riotous and funny story about reconciliations and self-discovery. With standout characterisation and lively humour, this had me hooked from the very first page.

A warm, witty read which I devoured in a few days. Sarah writes so well about family and family dynamics, by the end I felt I was part of this one, and was sorry to say goodbye to the characters

A family drama that mixes humour and poignancy

The author of The Unmumsy Mum always writes with such humour.

It'll warm your cockles!

Sarah Turner lives in Devon with her husband, three sons and Frank the cat.

After graduating with first-class honours in Philosophy from the University of Exeter, she dabbled in careers in finance and higher education before a ‘warts and all’ parenting blog she’d started in order to let off steam gathered unexpected momentum and writing became her full-time job.

She has since written four Sunday Times bestsellers: The Unmumsy Mum , The Unmumsy Mum Diary , The Unmumsy Mum A-Z and her first novel, Stepping Up , which was a Richard and Judy Book Club pick in 2023.

Sarah likes bookshops, walks along the river and watching her boys play football. She doesn’t like parking, films with sharks in or writing about herself in the third person.
